The Chicago Sinfonietta is "the orchestra of diversity," a professional symphony orchestra which forms unique cultural connections through the universal language of music.  Since 1987 the Sinfonietta has presented an exciting blend of musical and artistic genres, mixing the Classical and Romantic repertoire with bold contemporary works.  In its explorations of symphonic music the orchestra shatters traditional boundaries through its collaborations: exploring synergies between classical music, dance movement, live theater, and other (non-classical) musical styles.  In non-COVID years, the Chicago Sinfonietta performs regularly at Wentz Concert Hall in Naperville, IL, and in world famous Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center in downtown Chicago.

The Chicago Sinfonietta will present Sight + Sound, A Sonic Art Exhibition, on March 7th & 9th, 2020 in Naperville, IL and Chicago, IL.  

Take an introspective journey through the world of visual art, with music as your guide! Sight + Sound features a World Premiere commission from composer Courtney Bryan created for “fearless violinist” and special guest performer, Jennifer Koh. This work, Syzygy, celebrates artists Frida Kahlo, Maya Lin, and Alma Thomas and their cultural contributions to society.

From the concert-opening work, Finding Rothko, to Bryan's Syzygy, to Ravel’s Pictures at an Exhibition, this performance will meld symphonic color with tributes to some of the world’s most groundbreaking artists in a visceral celebration of the senses. The program closes with Pictures at an Exhibition: a grand and majestic finale rivaled only by the works of art it describes!

“[A] fearless violinist” –The New York Times
“A powerhouse soloist” – The Washington Post
"Other star violinists play concerts largely devoted to music by dead, white European composers. Jennifer Koh tackles ambitious contemporary projects designed to connect performers, audiences and living composers in mutually beneficial ways." - Chicago Tribune

Edward Kelsey Moore will perform among his Sinfonietta colleagues for these concerts.

Info & Tickets

The Chicago Sinfonietta was founded in 1987 to address the need for diversity in orchestras and the lack of inclusive connection between classical musicians and the vibrant, nuanced communities where they live and perform.  Chicago Sinfonietta has made it their mission to represent the city of Chicago, reflecting the city’s diversity on stage and in Sinfonietta’s programming choices — making classical music accessible and enjoyable to everyone.  The orchestra's thirty two years have been highlighted by six European tours, two Kennedy Center performances, three Millennium Park concerts (attended by over 19,000 people), and sixteen vinyl LP, CD and digital recordings.  The Chicago Sinfonietta has been a recipient of the prestigious $625,000 MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions.
