ABOUT US

The Amati Orchestra is one of London’s advanced amateur orchestras, marking its 10th Anniversary season with Mahler Symphony No 2 “Resurrection” at Cadogan Hall.

An orchestra in Central London formed in 2011, in July 2017 we performed our debut at St John’s Smith Square with Mahler Symphony No 1 (“Titan”), returning a season later with Stravinsky The Rite of Spring. Our members include advanced amateur and professional musicians, and we are actively welcoming applications. Please click here to join.

We have performed over 60 works, focusing on large-scale romantic symphonic repertoire. These include Richard Strauss Don Juan and Alpine Symphony, Shostakovich Symphony No 5, Holst The Planets, Tchaikovsky symphonies 4-6, Grieg and Schumann piano concertos, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven violin concertos, and Dvorak and Elgar cello concertos. For full repertoire – click to see Previous Seasons.

In 2019, the orchestra was part of a Making Music exhibition at the Barbican Library, featured in the Spring 2017 edition of the Making Music magazine High Notes (page 21), and held an Open Rehearsal as part of BBC Music: Get Playing. The orchestra was also the featured interview in the September 2016 Classical Events Newsletter, and on TripTide.

REHEARSALS

Rehearsals are on Tuesdays 7:30-9:45pm at St Clement’s Church in Central London. St Clement’s has excellent transport links to Barbican, Angel, and Old Street.
