Chicago Sinfonietta presents Tonal Transformation

Join us on May 10! Experience works by Brittany J. Green, Adolphus Hailstork with Timothy McAllister, and Tchaikovsky’s triumphant Symphony No. 4.

Our season finale pays tribute to those that allow us to transform our artform for the better. Our opening work, Brittany J. Green’s In the Beginning, “explores the excitement of new worlds forming, colliding, and shifting into place.” Adolphus Hailstork’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and String Orchestra, composed for guest soloist Timothy McAllister, promises a colorful tonal exploration. Finally, Tchaikovsky’s deeply emotional Symphony No. 4, described by the composer as a depiction of the nature of Fate. The famous ominous opening brass fanfare transitions to a bright energy in the finale, bringing our season to its conclusion.
