Chicago Sinfonietta, "SoundSketch: Portraits in Rhythm, Blues and Beyond"
On sale June 19.
The Sinfonietta puts its own spin on "the tribute" with an exceptional program of musical portraits spanning genres and centuries. From David Schiff's Four Sisters---a love letter to soul icons Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan----to the allusive and autobiographical Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar, this string-centric performance featuring violin virtuoso Regina Carter is a fitting end to an illustrious season!
