CS President & CEO Blake-Anthony Johnson:
“It is with immense gratitude and appreciation that I announce Chicago Sinfonietta’s newest venture and role as the Resident Orchestra of Chicago’s historic Auditorium Theatre as we enter our 35th season. Auditorium Theatre was the brainchild of Ferninand Pak, and an historic collaboration between civic leaders who envisioned a building that would help to make the arts more accessible to all Chicagoans regardless of income bracket. Chicago Sinfonietta is the brainchild of the late Maestro Paul Freeman and is an internationally acclaimed, groundbreaking champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the genre of classical music that leads with daring musical collaborations, novel audience engagement and extensive education and community outreach programs."
Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot:
"It is an honor to celebrate the Chicago Sinfonietta's 35th anniversary and their new home as the Resident Orchestra of Chicago's historic Auditorium Theatre. The Chicago Sinfonietta has been a staple of cultural appreciation and relevance to our City and the thousands of tourists that have visited the Sinfonietta for decades. I'm grateful for their ongoing commitment to Chicago's artistic scene and am excited to see them thrive in this next chapter of their history."
A natural extension of our work:
Our new home will not only be a magnificent venue on the historic downtown cultural mile but an addition to our current venues throughout Chicago, which will allow us to move forward with even more innovative program offerings, in a city that is known to be a metropolis of innovation!
Half of the work we do is offstage directly with the community, and this new home expands our capacity to serve our community in incredible ways that will add and enhance our existing programs, including our nationally recognized Pay What You Can ticket buying program.
Both tourists & residents alike will have a home to experience an orchestra unlike any other, in a great city unlike any other in the world.
