The Sinfonietta is WAYO’s foundation string orchestra and the starting point for young string musicians entering the world of ensemble playing.
This is where it all begins: learning to listen, to play as one, and to experience the joy of making music with others often for the first time in an orchestral setting.
Under the guidance of string specialist Jeanette Teh, members develop core orchestral skills in a supportive and creative environment. Through carefully chosen repertoire that inspires as much as it teaches, the Sinfonietta builds the technique, teamwork and musical curiosity that set young players on a path through WAYO’s ensembles and a lifetime of music.
We recommend that applicants have at least two years of experience with their instrument before applying.
