About The Sinfonietta

The Sinfonietta is an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra and production company renowned for its diverse and innovative creative direction and dedication to musical excellence. The Sinfonietta’s inaugural NYC-based orchestra, The Broadway Sinfonietta, was founded in 2020 by Egyptian-American Orchestrator & Music Supervisor Macy Schmidt, who was recently honored on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 List for her work with the Sinfonietta. Since teaming up with industry veteran Colleen McCormack to grow the company, the orchestra has performed with pop stars (such as Brandy and Jordin Sparks), in concert for feature films (such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), and onstage as featured soloists for the opening number of the 2023 Tony Awards. The Sinfonietta’s international footprint is rapidly growing, performing most recently in Abu Dhabi with an all Arab women orchestra for the Forbes International Women’s Day Gala honoring world leaders Hillary Rodham Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Malala Yousafzai, Billie Jean King, and Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska. As a production company, the Sinfonietta has partnered with brands such as Bloomingdale’s, MAC Cosmetics, and The Atlantic Magazine to create original commissioned content, and been featured in outlets such as NBC, CBS, Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Forbes, TIME, Teen Vogue, Elle Magazine, The Washington Post, The Today Show, and more. As a headlining artist, The Broadway Sinfonietta made its live full orchestra debut concert presented by Carnegie Hall Citywide and signed with Sony Masterworks to develop and release recordings of Schmidt’s pop orchestra arrangements. Fresh off the heels of a 70+ city nationwide tour, the Sinfonietta’s reach and impact has grown exponentially, now encompassing both a production arm (Sinfonietta Productions), as well as a management arm (Sinfonietta Creative Management), which provides representation and advocacy for women musicians across the industry as a whole.
