Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Italian Baroque

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Italian Baroque at Hilbert Circle Theatre

Italian Baroque music rewards listeners who enjoy intricate lines and lively musical exchanges. On May 7, 2027, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra brings Italian Baroque to Hilbert Circle Theatre in Indianapolis, and the program is built to move you from one musical world to another. It opens with the overture to Handel's Agrippina. Then come Corelli, Vivaldi and Stravinsky. That is a plan with a destination, not a random classical sampler.

The pull here is the pairing. Corelli's Concerto Grosso Op. 6 No. 11 and Vivaldi's Concerto Per la Solennità di S. Lorenzo carry you through Italian Baroque repertoire. Then Stravinsky's Pulcinella closes the evening with his later reworking of earlier musical styles. Old voices meet a modern composer looking back at them. If you love hearing how one era talks to another, this program is your kind of conversation. The works are announced repertoire and subject to change, but the idea is clear and compelling.

The people on stage matter too. Dmitry Sinkovsky, listed as conductor and violinist, leads the evening, and vocal soloists from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music join the orchestra. You'll hear the advertised artists and this specific program, not a vague promise of "something classical." Plan a night out in Indianapolis, settle in for a 7:30 PM start, and share an evening of live orchestral music with someone who enjoys discovering new connections. Don't just hear about this concert afterward. Reserve your seats for Italian Baroque at Hilbert Circle Theatre.
