The Chicago Sinfonietta invites you to take survey to select musical works for its Think Big progam at this November’s Chicago Humanities Festival. One choice per category is allowed, and an write-in option appears at the end.
Nominees (below) were selected by Michael Abels, Henry Fogel, Tania Léon, Dominique-René de Lerma, Drew McManus, Steve Robinson and Alex Ross.
The Sinfonetta site doesn’t offer listing samples, be we’ll take care of that for you, via the magic of Rhapsody free trial tracks:
