Our team are driven by a passion to break down barriers to music education in North Wales. NEW Academi nurtures young Welsh musicians from igniting musical journeys with first experiences, through to inspiring musicians at grassroots level, and even enabling musicians at further study with professional artistic development.
Ignite
For our youngest audiences, our magical musical adventure story Slumbersaurus is the perfect gateway to classical music. Slumbersaurus is a curious young dinosaur who embarks on whimsical adventures that encourage creativity and interaction. Designed specifically for infants and juniors, Slumbersaurus' innovative performances combine live music, storytelling, and imaginative play to create engaging, accessible and multisensory experiences, whilst introducing young people to classical music and classical musicians.
Since 2023 NEW Sinfonia has presented Slumbersaurus events to over 1,500 children in a variety of locations and scenarios. Slumbersaurus is a pay-what-you-can event, making it accessible to everyone.
Inspire
Gweithiwn gyda gwasanaethau cerdd ar draws Gogledd Cymru i ysbrydoli cerddorion y dyfodol trwy gynnal gweithdai rhyngweithiol wedi arwain gan ein chwaraewyr proffesiynol. Yn Haf 2023 mi oeddwn wedi gallu gwahodd aelodau o’n Prosiect Offerynnol Ysgolion i berfformio darn a gomisiynwyd yn arbennig yn yr Ŵyl Gerdd Ryngwladol Gogledd Cymru ochr-yn-ochr a NEW Sinfonia.
'Our work with NEW Sinfonia is hugely popular with pupils in Gwynedd and Anglesey. Rob and Jon always put maximum effort to understand our needs and requirements before planning and delivering great projects with excellent musicians. It is lovely to work with such talent that care deeply about music education.'
- Tudur Eames (Managing Director at Gwasanaeth Cerdd Ysgolion)

‘Fel rhiant, credaf fod chwarae mewn cerddorfa yn gyfle arbennig ac mae hi wir wedi ysbrydoli fy mab Henry fel cerddor ifanc.’ – Charlotte Beynon
Our side-by-side projects allow young musicians to play alongside our professional orchestra in workshops and performances.
We run side-by-side projects across NEW Sinfonia projects including our opera Gresford: Up From Underground and annually at the North Wales International Music Festival.
