About the Slee Sinfonietta
The Slee Sinfonietta was formed in 1997 by composer David Felder and conductor Magnus Mårtensson.  This ensemble, the professional chamber orchestra in residence at the University at Buffalo, performs a series of concerts each year devoted to lesser-known repertoire, particularly that of the pre-classic era and recent contemporary music.  Advanced students in performance are invited to participate along with faculty artists, soloists, and regional professionals in the production of these unique concerts designed to contribute new possibilities for concertgoers within the University and the Western New York region.

The Slee Sinfonietta gratefully acknowledges financial support from the Cameron E. Baird Fund, Robert E. Morris and Carol L. Morris.
