 Mission
The
mission of the Washington Sinfonietta is to serve
as a model for innovation in community classical
music organizations.
History
With
its second season in existence, the Washington Sinfonietta
has established a wonderful reputation in the
Washington DC-metro area.
The Orchestra began
in May 2006 when Rufus
Jones, Jr. was invited by Marcus Jordan to serve as an Artistic Partner of a new chamber orchestra he was forming.
Jordan’s aim to establish a permanent chamber
orchestra with outstanding performance capabilities
was realized at the first concert on August 19,
2006.
The
orchestra is administered by its musicians, Artistic Partners, and
Board of Directors who
include professional musicians from Washington, Boston, New York City, federal government employees, and community
members.
 Maestro
Jones together with the musicians of the Washington
Sinfonietta has resulted in a wonderfully successful
musical partnership. Since August 2006, the orchestra
has established its Board
of Directors, expanded its concert season to
include chamber ensemble performances and solo
performances featuring its members, and relocated
from the Georgetown University campus to the extraordinarily
beautiful Sanctuary at National
City Christian Church.
