Founded in 2019, the Fidelio Orchestra has quickly established itself as a vibrant presence in London’s classical music scene. It brings together people with a shared commitment to making great music in an atmosphere that is both joyful and refreshingly unpretentious.

By including non-professional players alongside emerging professionals, the Fidelio Orchestra fosters a space where performing historical repertoire is not only a professional pursuit, but also a powerful way to connect the world of classical music with broader society.

Run as a charity since incorporation in 2020, the orchestra is dedicated to providing young musicians with high-quality orchestral experience and opportunities to collaborate with exceptional soloists. Since 2025 its charitable purpose is furthered by the establishment of outreach programmes in collaboration with schools across London.
