Thanks to reviving efforts of Fundacion Sinfonia, the Dominican Republic’s National Symphony Orchestra will continue to live on.
The MISSION of Fundacion Sinfonia is to uphold the longstanding tradition of classical concerts of the highest level with world-renowned soloists, conductors and artists, showcased alongside the most distinguished national classical artists and members of the Orquestra Sinfonica Nacional.
Why is it important?
Since its founding in 1986, the Fundacion Sinfonia has worked to rescue the National Symphony of the Dominican Republic. After five years of work to rebuild this iconic institution, the Dominican government officially granted Sinfonia the management of the country’s national orchestra.
How do they do it?
The highlight of Sinfonia’s activities is the Santo Domingo Music Festival a biennial event that brings together international classical artists accompanied by a world-class orchestra.
Since 2012, and to fulfill one of its objectives, Sinfonia has started a program of instrumental and vocal workshops along with orchestral residencies in benefit of young Dominican music students.
