Only one week left to secure your tickets for Chicago Sinfonietta's "Love Letters" next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Wentz Concert Hall! Maestra Chen weaves notions of devotion through a symphonic lens with “Love Letters,” a homage to love. Brahms’ unrequited love for Clara Schumann could only be expressed in music, while Mahler’s adoration for wife Alma inspired his sublime Adagietto, offering a profound expression of marital love. Grammy Award-winning bassoonist Monica Ellis is featured in two Chicago Sinfonietta compositions by composers Michelle Issac and Sandra Bailey, including a world premiere. Valerie Coleman, Issac, and Bailey offer their perspectives on filial love, plus admiration and appreciation for strong women everywhere.
