7 p.m., April 12, 2024
Hilbert Circle Theatre, Indianapolis
The 2023–24 Sphinx season culminates in this performance at Hilbert Circle Theatre, with Sphinx conductor Anthony Parnther leading the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for an unforgettable evening. Registration is required for this free event, which highlights Adé Williams performing Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in A Minor. Seats are limited, so reserve your free ticket online.
Program:
Samuel Coleridge Taylor: Ballade in A Minor
Dvořák: Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53
William Grant Still: Symphony No. 1 (Afro-American)
Through the ISO’s Unheard Voices initiative, the orchestra celebrates contemporary and historical composers whose works are often underrepresented in orchestras today. The Sphinx program, along with selected works throughout the 2023–24 IU Health Plans Classical Series, features composers who authentically represent their unique culture, exploring the human condition through the universal language of music.
About the Sphinx Organization-ISO partnership
Working with the Detroit-based Sphinx Organization, a national nonprofit dedicated to developing young Black and Latinx classical musicians, the collaboration brings Sphinx artists and ISO musicians together for an annual series of chamber and orchestral music at locations throughout Indianapolis. The project is made possible through the generous support of title sponsor Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, along with premier sponsors Honda, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
