The Sinfonietta has appeared at the BBC proms, with Glyndebourne Touring Opera, for the National Opera Studio, at the major British Music Festivals, abroad in Europe and Brazil and on TV and radio.
In short, the Sinfonietta endeavours to combine the traditional chamber orchestra role with imaginative exploration of other musical worlds which can enrich the lives of all who come in contact with these wonderful musicians.
On the 16th November 1999 the Sinfonietta was closed and all the musicians made redundant ina restructuring operation ordered by the Arts Council of England.

 Sinfonietta - Gramophone reviews
In the Sinfonietta the playing is again first rate, but the diminutive title belies a work which is quite large-scale, and which needs a bigger body of strings than the Bournemouth Sinfonietta possess.
Del Mar points the reflective passages with his usual skill and sympathy: his tempos are on the whole faster than those of Boult and it is possible to think that he presses too hard in the lively episodes, which in the slightly over-reverberant acoustic become rather blurred and too much dominated by the Timpani.
In the case of the Sinfonietta, Hickox's comparatively bluff way with the outer movements has much in common with Del Mar's 1986 Bournemouth Sinfonietta version; the former is, however, more acutely responsive to the chimerical mood-changes of the central Theme and Variations.

When the American conductor Marin Alsop raises her baton to conduct Leonard Bernstein's ever-popular Chichester Psalms, the first item in next Wednesday's opening concert of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's current season at its home base in Poole, she will be the first female principal conductor of a British symphony orchestra.
When Michael Henson, the managing director of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO), arrived three and a half years ago, the financial situation he encountered caused him to close the BSO's sister orchestra, the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, and to renegotiate his remaining band's participation in the Arts Council's lottery-funded Stabilisation Programmme.
Without the Sinfonietta, for example, the BSO and its spin-off ensembles — a chamber orchestra, a string orchestra, smaller wind and brass groups and the contemporary-music ensemble Kokoro — are required to play in smaller venues across five counties, from Devon to Hampshire.

Andrew Litton conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in Walton's two symphonies, the concertos for violin, viola and cello, both Façade suites, and the oratorio Belshazzar's Feast, plus other works in five recordings made between 1991 and 1996.
The playing is uniformly excellent but the glory of the disc is undoubtedly the oratorio with the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, Waynflete Singers and L'Inviti semi-chorus belting out the "Gold and Silver" chorus with inebriated pagan passion.

 The Worldwide Moeran Database - Audio
From Chandos is the opening of the final movements of the Sinfonietta (1944), recorded by the Bournemouth Sinfonia under Norman Del Mar.
Sadly the instrumental version is the one most often recorded (I hesitate to say 'played' as Moeran's music gets so little concert hall attention), so I've put the vocal version here, sung by Ann Murray with the English Chamber Orchestra under Jeffrey Tate on the EMI compilation disc "The Banks Of Green Willow".
I am told that the previously available recording with Moeran's wife Peers Coetmore is interesting but not as well played - it was recorded quite late in her career.

Naxos has done several albums for pure strings, most of which I've snapped up.
The Bournemouth Sinfonietta has proved to be a very versatile ensemble, being able to exploit the different timbres of the various members of the string family and draw either cheerful brightness or more solemn dark colours when required.
Versatility is a vital virtue a string ensemble must possess.

Whatever the reason, Naxos is righting that wrong by bringing out this spectacular issue of the three symphonies played by the wonderful Bournemouth Symphony under the direction of American conductor Jos Serebrier, long a champion of Rorem's music.
The performances leave nothing to be desired, and the sound is state of the art: open and transparent, with wide dynamic range and full frequency range.
These are sly, tender, and witty scores played wonderfully, and are a feast of good fortune for the revival of so many neglected American scores; indeed, Naxos' hand in the rejuvenation cannot be overvalued.
