About The Academy of St Martin in the Fields:
Founded in 1958 by Sir Neville Marriner, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields has evolved into a musical powerhouse, renowned across the world for as an orchestra committed to the musical freedom of its players and the sharing of ambitious, energetic performances. Our player-led approach empowers every member of the orchestra, creating a direct line and electrifying connection between the orchestra and our audiences, resulting in bold and collaborative performances that transcend a more traditional conductor-led model. Beyond the concert hall, our commitment to a social purpose is evident in impactful projects that harness the power of music to empower people. We have a longstanding history of work which connects with people experiencing homelessness, and our education projects foster autonomy and creativity among young musicians worldwide. Our enduring collaborations with world-renowned soloists is exemplified by our 15-year partnership with Music Director and renowned violinist Joshua Bell. With a rich global legacy, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields remains one of the world’s most-recorded orchestras, igniting a love for classical music in many around the world. Today, we continue a busy international touring programme alongside a significant footprint in the UK – making us one of the country’s most celebrated cultural exports.  Just one more exemplary performance from an orchestra which has been exemplary from the start  - Boston Globe   Impeccably presented with a wonderful camaraderie amongst the members, the responsibility of following a seated Musical Director is spread amongst all. This creates a mutual understanding and collective conscious choice to draw together. The unity feels different to an orchestra that can sit back and rely on a standing conductor. ASMF are a shining example of how to lead and be lead, all at the same time.
