Sinfonietta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sinfonietta is a work for orchestra that is generally considered to be smaller in scope than a full symphony. The word is sometimes also used to refer to small symphonic ensembles which are considered too large to be chamber ensembles.
There are many professional and amateur orchestras bearing the name "Sinfonietta". See for a list the website of Dutch chamber orchestra Sinfonietta Geleen .
