The Chicago Sinfonietta is Chicago's premiere mid-sized orchestra dedicated to Musical Excellence through Diversity. The Sinfonietta fosters talented soloists, composers, and musicians with an emphasis on ethnic diversity, as it creates new more inclusive audiences for symphonic music. Through its organizational, educational and community programs, the Sinfonietta serves as a model for performing arts organizations throughout the country.

Founded in 1987, the Chicago Sinfonietta performs Sunday afternoon concerts at Dominican University in River Forest and Monday evening performances at Symphony Center in downtown Chicago. Under the baton of Maestro Paul Freeman, each Sinfonietta concert showcases diverse guest artists and features a surprising array of sound from composers throughout the world and the ages. The Sinfonietta's commitment to diversity has created an open environment for minority musicians to develop their careers, and its educational outreach initiatives provide education and music programming for underserved communities in the Chicago area.
