Chicago Sinfonietta: Limitless Horizon

Join us for a thrilling, multi-genre adventure with Arturo Márquez’s Conga del Fuego Nuevo (Congo of the New Fire) complete with local dancers from CLINARD DANCE, followed by Derrick SKYE’s multifaceted To Be A Horizon, and a Chicago Sinfonietta commission by Project Inclusion Composing Fellow Michelle Isaac. The energy of the concert changes with the heart-stirring Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto, co-composed by Chen Gang and He Zhanhao, featuring frequent Chicago Sinfonietta collaborator, violinist Melissa White. The season finale concert closes with Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances – a favorite of our late founder, Maestro Paul Freeman.
