A new year has begun, so it's time to reset, revitalise, and perhaps set a resolution or two. We've picked out five ideas for a New Year's resolution in 2022 - and of course, they are all ways in which you can get involved with the London Sinfonietta's work!
1. Take steps to live a greener life
Now more than ever, climate change is a big talking point across the globe. Everyone can play a role - big or small - in addressing the global climate crisis, and we've used our platform to actively respond to this significant challenge.
