Sinfonia da Camera is gearing up for their season opening concert!

Led by music director Ian Hobson, Sinfonia da Camera opens their season at Krannert Center with a program celebrating the virtuosic brilliance and expressive depth of the Classical era.

C.P.E. Bach’s Flute Concerto in D Minor, performed by Jonathan Keeble, exemplifies the empfindsamer Stil with its expressive contrasts and improvisatory character. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 15, led from the keyboard by Ian Hobson, offers a masterful balance of virtuosity and structural refinement.

The evening culminates in Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, a work of striking dramatic intensity and rhythmic urgency. Rare among Mozart’s symphonies for its minor key, it reveals a depth of emotional complexity that continues to resonate with modern audiences. Together, these works illuminate a period of extraordinary artistic innovation, where formal precision and expressive freedom coexist in perfect balance.

Don't miss Sinfonia da Camera's season debut at Krannert Center Friday, September 18 at 7:30pm.
