Dear Sinfonia Members and Families,
Congratulations! Each and every one of you displayed an impressive performance in our recording session of “Interesting Connections.” Be proud of your accomplishments! Your individual efforts were instrumental in uniting our musical presentation. A big shout out to Josiah Chu (Tuesday) and Rayna Jellish (Thursday) for being excellent emcees, and a special thank you to Maydine Bellot for her skillful harp contributions. Warm smiles to all!
Our next musical project will blend music of very diverse characters. Concerto Competition winner performances by Kate Flint with the Telemann Viola Concerto (Tuesday), and Madison Koo with the Bach Violin Concerto (Thursday), will each be accompanied by a small string ensemble. The full Sinfonia ensembles will perform the Sinfonia in C of lesser-known Bohemian violinist/composer Franz Benda (1709-1786). We will contrast that with Stairway To Heaven, of the English rock ensemble Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968. We will also perform Spain, a tribute to the late Chic Corea (1941-2021) in a special combined jazz program performance of his composition. This will be a fun blend of music, and I know we will all enjoy preparing and performing it.
You will get the new music at our next rehearsal. If you would like to get a preview of the selections, listen to the following examples. (Our arrangements of Stairway and Spain will be different than what is in the links below.)

Upcoming Rehearsals:
We are Sinfonia!
