About us
Serafine Orchestra seamlessly integrates professional players with emerging young musicians, creating a dynamic fusion of expertise and collaboration.
Serafine enjoyed an illustrious debut performance in July 2012 at the Grosvenor Chapel, London, performing a programme of Bach and Handel in the company of Lucy Crowe, Tim Mead, Robert Murray and Matthew Rose and players from the OAE and the Academy of Ancient Music, raising over £2000 for the charity Songbound. Since then, Serafine has performed across the country and worked with choral societies on projects including Duruflé’s Requiem and Handel’s Saul.
