City of London Sinfonia (CLS) has undergone a year of change, led by CEO Rowan Rutter (appointed April 2023). The organisation has a refreshed mission, vision and values supported by a new website, reinvigorated branding, and a new approach to programme and delivery of work. Current projects (outside of the London concert series) include a touring co-production with Landmark Theatres of a new work for 0-3s, supported by Arts Council England, a co-production with award-winning science theatre company curious directive, ongoing projects with the London Review of Books and Faber, and an international orchestral mentoring project with Joburg City Theatres and the Soweto Youth Orchestra. All this runs alongside our award-winning participation work in health and wellbeing settings. CLS is a flexible working environment, and we are open to discussions about location, and pattern of work.
Fundraising is an artform of its very own. It’s about storytelling, curiosity, patience, active listening and instinct. It is incredibly rewarding, and it is also challenging. The realities of the Arts sector are clear across various funder priorities, the success and failure stories, the narrowing of funding portfolios, and briefs which more actively address societal needs and social impact. CLS believes fundamentally in the power and the necessity of music and the active role it can and should play in supporting, changing, and challenging our society. City of London Sinfonia is proactive, societally aware and responsive and, we believe, has an opportunity to bring the fundraising approaches of its past into an active, vibrant and engaged future with an expanded community of trusts and foundations, donors and committed stakeholders.
