Surrey's leading professional chamber orchestra
President - His Serene Highness Dr Donatus, Prince of Hohenzollern
Welcome to Farnham Sinfonia!
Bringing World-Class Classical Music to Farnham and Beyond
Founded in 2017 by conductor and composer Matthew Taylor along with Leonie Anderson, John Horrocks and Diana Martin, Farnham Sinfonia has become one of the South of England’s leading concert societies. Our orchestra features distinguished musicians and rising stars—often alumni of the renowned Yehudi Menuhin School—delivering inspiring performances in an intimate setting.
Artistic Director Matthew Taylor, who has worked alongside Leonard Bernstein in New York, curates outstanding programmes that regularly attract sell-out audiences. In 2025, we were honoured to welcome His Serene Highness Dr Donatus, Prince of Hohenzollern as President, recognising the artistic excellence and growing national reputation of Farnham Sinfonia.
We’re proud to be Orchestra in Residence at St Andrew’s Church, a cherished historic landmark in a town known for its rich artistic heritage. Guided by the leadership of Diana Martin and supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, we are committed to sharing exceptional live music and bringing joy to the heart of Farnham’s cultural life.
We are very excited to announce and welcome
His Serene Highness Dr Donatus, Prince of Hohenzollern
as President of Farnham Sinfonia.
His love of music is well known, and his knowledge and experience will be fundamental to the successful future of the Sinfonia.
