“One of classical music’s biggest hurdles in this day and age is the perception that it’s stuffy, inaccessible, and only for an elite group that can afford and/or understand and appreciate it. Enter Chicago Sinfonietta, who not only clears that hurdle,
but pole-vaults over it.”

The Chicago Sinfonietta, the nation’s most diverse symphony orchestra, presents an exciting blend of musical and artistic genres. Mixing the Classical and Romantic repertoire with bold contemporary works, the Sinfonietta shatters traditional boundaries through its collaborations, creating synergies between classical, dance, theater and other musical styles including jazz, rock, and World music.

Founded in 1987 by distinguished Music Director Paul Freeman under the mission of Musical Excellence Through Diversity, the Sinfonietta is Chicago’s premier mid-size professional orchestra and serves as a cultural crossroads, featuring talented soloists, composers and musicians of color.
