The unorthodox journey of the orchestra unfolds here through interviews with original members and their publicist/manager, magazine publications, photographs, and previously uncollected archival material, alongside an essay by Christopher M. Reeves. If they were musicians in the orchestra, they played instruments that they didn't know how to play. While seemingly a niche musical anecdote, the story of the Portsmouth Sinfonia engenders wide-ranging conversations that touch upon the legacy of interdisciplinary art pedagogy, the power of popular music, the investment necessary in order to work and learn together, and the effects of destabilizing canonization.

In 1970, galvanized in part by the musical experiments of avant-garde composers Gavin Bryars, John Cage and Cornelius Cardew, students at Portsmouth College of Art in England formed their own symphony orchestra. This incredible collection brings together historical documents—liner notes, programmes, flyers, letters—with the invaluable remembrances of several members of the Sinfonia. This restriction, coupled with the decision to play “only the familiar bits” of classical music, challenged the Sinfonia’s audience to reconsider the familiar, as the ensemble haplessly butchered the classics at venues ranging from avant-garde music festivals to the Royal Albert Hall. What makes Portsmouth Sinfonia unique is that they did the popular classics we all love and know, but they couldn't play. It's interesting to hear these familiar works in punk or at the very least, a new way of approaching music. TOSH: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World by Tosh...
