交響樂團是未經審核的樂團，向從初學者到高級的所有水平的音樂家開放。氣氛非常輕鬆有趣，非常適合尋求友善環境的音樂家與他人一起演奏一些好音樂。我們精彩多樣的曲目涵蓋了多種風格和流派，包括古典作品，電影配樂，音樂劇和流行混合樂。每週一在音樂部排練廳舉行排練。每次排練之後，我們都會去Old Bar，並參加許多Sinfonia社交活動，例如打保齡球，激光打標和看電影旅行，您將有很多機會認識其他球員。

 

由於Covid-19大流行的情況，我們目前不確定在2020/21學年何時開始排練。請確保加入我們的Facebook小組以獲取有關排練和社交的最新信息！您還將參與一些在線Sinfonia和更廣泛的LUUMS社交活動。我們期待與您見面！

阿比蓋爾·耶茨（Abigail Yates）

經理

阿比（Abi）是西米德蘭茲郡沃爾夫漢普頓的物理專業二年級學生。她從9歲起就開始演奏薩克斯風，並在15歲時決定接管雙簧管，以便既可以在樂隊中也可以在樂隊中演奏。從那以後，她參加了許多音樂會，並且在LUUMS Sinfonia和Concert Band的演出中非常享受。阿比很高興能夠擔任經理一職，以確保今年對於所有級別的球員來說，“交響樂”仍然是一個有趣而友善的環境。她還計劃為樂團成員提供一些有趣的社交活動，使他們彼此了解！除LUUMS之外，Abi是物理學會的會員，並參與了學生廣播。

Jamie Carrick (he/him)

Conductor

Jamie is a second year International History and Politics student from St Albans, near London.

 

He has been actively involved in LUUMs throughout his time in Leeds, joining Sinfonia, which gave him an opportunity to play percussion and generally cause hearing damage to the rest of the orchestra   (especially on the timpani which he will not stop going on about). His favourite LUUMS experience so far has been going on tour at the last minute to Scotland with the Symphony Orchestra when they needed an extra player.

 

He has never conducted an ensemble of this size of sinfonia before, but he is absolutely buzzing nonetheless!

 

When he’s not taking part in LUUMs, Jamie will often be found in the library reading or having a mild to moderate  crisis. He may also be found in the pub, or playing guitar and writing songs.

 

Most importantly, he can’t wait to meet all of the new LUUMs members and make sure that they are given the warm welcome and the amazing opportunities that the society can offer!

Matthew Boucher (he/him)

Conductor

Matt is a third year MEng Medical Engineering student from an ancient medieval town in East Kent, which some of you might recognise as the spiritual home of the Sandwich! From his first tentative steps on the piano and recorder at primary school, Year 4 Matt thrived attempting to play whatever instrument he could get his hands on! After settling on the clarinet, allegedly due to a few ‘teething problems’ postponing his trumpet debut, he enjoyed contributing his woody, occasionally squeaky, sound for many years in concerts and on tour to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal with his school orchestra. Somewhere along the way he finally gained a full set of adult teeth and started tooting new and exciting instruments from the brass section including trumpet in secondary school plus french and tenor horn whilst at uni! He’s had a blast ever since playing in a variety of LUUMS ensembles including Sinfonia, Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Brass Band and Concert Band, alongside performing with the National Universities Brass Band, depping for York RI Golden Rail Brass Band, playing in the pit band for Devonshire Hall’s High School Musical, and regularly gigging/jamming with the Arrythmics Big Band and Jazz and Blues Society!

Matt first rocked up in Leeds back in when the world was in the firm grip of the virus which shalt not be named, and the epicness of online Sinfonia every Monday night in the depths of winter lockdown inspired him to take up the baton! Before he could stop himself, he’d logged on and auditioned as a duo! After learning all the ‘hand-waving stuff’ from a good mate whilst riding a bike one-handed along a canal, he’s loved every minute of conducting the orchestra this past year, with particular highlights being Pirates of the Caribbean, Dambusters, Swan Lake, Radetzky March, and not forgetting How to Train Your Dragon! He’s now looking forward to working with Jamie this year to achieve that rich orchestral ‘Sinfonia’ sound we all know and love, and can’t wait to continue conducting the unofficial best orchestra in LUUMS!!!

Outside of his musical engagements, you might just find Matt attempting to run a ‘casual’ marathon, ‘inter-city’ cycling across the north, or down one of Leeds’ many drinking establishments after rehearsals! If you happen to live near York, you might also spot him playing at your local bandstand once in a while or busking jazz standards down Briggate or St Helen's Square!

Ben Mitchell

Manager

Ben is a 4th Year Computer Science student from Manchester. He started playing the violin in the early years of primary school and only gave up once! His love for the violin was rekindled as he joined more ensembles throughout secondary and sixth form. He has enjoyed being in LUUMS Sinfonia since first year, and particularly loved playing musical theatre, especially West Side Story and Wicked. His favourite part of LUUMS is socialising in Old Bar after rehearsals and getting to know new people. This year, he’s excited to put his contributions towards piece choices - watch this space for more Studio Ghibli music! When he’s not playing, he likes exploring the Yorkshire Dales and drinking from his excessively large tea collection. He’s ready for another great year of playing and welcoming all the new and old faces to this friendly ensemble.
