Royal Northern Sinfonia live in Alnwick

Experience Royal Northern Sinfonia live on November 26th

Royal Northern Sinfonia, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, is a chamber orchestra with a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary classical music. The ensemble is known for its dynamic performances and commitment to innovative programming, frequently commissioning new works alongside established pieces. They operate as part of Sage Gateshead, focusing on both orchestral concerts and community engagement initiatives.

St Michael’s Church in Alnwick dates back to the Norman period, with significant alterations occurring throughout the medieval era and Victorian restoration led by Sir Nicholas Fosbrooke in 1876-77. Originally a parish church serving the town of Alnwick, it is notable for its Perpendicular Gothic architecture, including a prominent west tower and extensive stained glass windows. The church houses several historical monuments and features a significant organ installed in 1905 by Harrison & Harrison, which has undergone subsequent renovations. It continues to function as an active place of worship within the Church of England’s Diocese of Newcastle while also hosting cultural events.

On November 26th, 2026, Royal Northern Sinfonia will perform a concert within the acoustic space of St Michael’s Church. Details regarding the specific programme being presented are currently unavailable.
