When will live concerts be back?
Staying safe and adapting. Since spring of 2020, like everyone else navigating the new and perilous conditions created by the coronavirus pandemic, Sinfonia cancelled scheduled concerts for live audiences. The health and safety of musicians and patrons was our primary concern. Summer and fall came and went. Still, month by month, we re-arranged plans and prepared for the time when venues could open once again for group gatherings. We had tentative, "hoped-for" concert dates. But the dire effects of the pandemic lingered far into winter. We still look forward to the time when our musicians can once again perform for you in person. The time just gets pushed a little farther, a little farther. And the wisest course of action is not to rush or put anyone at risk. Please be assured, however, that we are much closer to performing for you again. As the summer 2021 weeks progress, we will have updated information about prevailing capacity guidelines, and safety requirements at our concert venues. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will publish details when we can confirm that programming is possible. |
Outstanding Piano Recital
As circumstances allow in coming months for safe group gatherings, we hope to present a solo piano recital in 2021 by Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner. "Poetic, electrifying," "a gifted virtuoso..." At Juilliard, he was the youngest admittee to the Bachelor’s Degree at 14 and the Master’s Degree at 18. Now 22, Mr. Sanchez-Werner has been lauded for performances that have stirred the intellect and humanity of his audiences on five continents. Named a Gilmore Young Artist, an honor awarded every two years highlighting the most promising American pianists of the new generation, it held deep meaning for him to perform at the White House and Kennedy Center for President Obama’s second Inauguration concert. This is an extraordinary opportunity for Sinfonia to offer its audience an intimate occasion with this masterful musician. The recital date and program details will be announced in the coming months. |
