Chicago Sinfonietta Announces One World. One Sound. Revelry!

Chicago Sinfonietta announced the date of its annual ball today. Titled "One World. One Sound. Revelry!," the concept strongly ties in to the 34th season theme. In a world composed of myriad languages, cultures, races and religions, nowhere does this rich tapestry show itself better than in Chicago. It is through the magic of a single sound that the world is truly united as one.

States Juan B. Teague, Ball Civic Chair, "I truly believe that music encapsulates the vibrancy of life - it's a universal language that knows no barriers."

Taking place at the Fairmont Chicago, Downtown Chicago on Saturday evening, October 9, 2021, the annual black-tie gala this year honors Dr. Helene Gayle and Chicago Community Trust.
