The symphony orchestra of the university of Jyväskylä was established in 1993. The orchestra is known as an active orchestra for music hobbyists, and the players are mainly students. Sinfis has 1-3 concerts a year. Sinfis also plays with smaller ensembles for example in university festivities.
The orchestra has partaken in many different projects. In the last years Sinfis has played for example Mozarts concerto's and Finnish music (Wienistä pohjoiseen, 2016), film music (Salute to the Cinema 2016 & Valkokankaan Säveliä 2011) and a Sibelius concert (Sinfis: Sibelius, 2015). In addition to own concerts, Sinfis has partaken in musicals (Metsälammen Musikantit - childrens music fable 2014 & Ruusun Varjo -musical in 2006.
