Modeled after the Portsmouth Sinfonia, the Northern Sinfonia is an orchestra in which everybody plays an instrument they've never played before. After two months, this is how we sound.

The original version, a setting of the famous line from The Merchant of Venice beginning 'How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank', is for 16 solo voices, each part being written for a famous English singer of the day.
