Join City of London Sinfonia for New Frontiers, a bold new season of orchestral storytelling at Hackney Empire and Hackney Church, celebrating the spirit of adventure, imagination, and discovery that drives both music and humanity forward.

This is not just a concert series. It’s an invitation to explore.

Across a series of live events at Hackney Empire and Hackney Church, the season invites audiences to step beyond the familiar and into the extraordinary. From the deep seas of Explorers to the lunar dreams of From Dusk ’til Dawn, and the cosmic expanse of THE EXOPLANETS, each concert is a journey through sound, story, and the unknown.

Two concerts remain in the season don’t miss out!

We are a chamber orchestra with big ideas. From exhilarating concert programmes to large-scale multi-arts productions, and from big operas to intimate one-to-one moments in hospitals and care homes, we believe that music should be part of everyone’s life.

We explore what it means to be human through our collaborative and courageous work, staying curious and discovering new things along the way.

Music is so much more than dots on a page. Come and discover with us.
