Synfonietta, is a post-graduate orchestra from the National Academy of Music and Dance of Belfort, (ENMD) it allows the students who are part of it to discover the symphonic repertoire. Lately, for example, the orchestra performed pieces from Haynd, Beethoven, Mozart and Saint-Saëns…

Many projects involving choruses are also part of the orchestra’s curriculum. To name a few let’s talk about Beethoven’s “Fantasy”, Emil Cossetto’s “Rapsodia del Cante Jondo” and also “Orphée”, named after the chorus from ENMD, piece that was created for its 30th anniversary.

The orchestra is under the direction of the school’s dean, Jean-Jacques Griesser. It is a musical structure that is opened to every amateur who applies and who gathers the skills required for admission.

After having successfully worked on a project with An Pierlé, Synfonietta performed on the 1st of July 2005 with Emilie Simon and the Drums-Keyboards of Lyon at the latest edition of the Eurockéennes de Belfort. This year, Synfonietta will be joined by a 4-voices chorus to accompany the French rock band Dyonisos.
