The Cayambis Sinfonietta, a national leader in the performance of the classical music of the Americas, is pleased to announce its first regional tour during April, 2023. The ensemble will present a formal concert in three communities: at 7:30 pm on April 12 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Blacksburg, Virginia; at 7:00 pm on April 13 at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia; and at 7:30 pm on April 14 at Radford University in Radford, Virginia. Generously supported by the A. & M. Blank Foundation and the Community Foundation of the New River Valley, each event is free and open to the public.
The program, unlike that of any other US-based performance ensemble, is an exciting journey through some of the best instrumental music that the American hemisphere has to offer. Across the nine pieces that make up the tour program, the Sinfonietta will demonstrate its remarkable versatility by performing a representative cross section of our hemisphere’s most important musical styles over the past one hundred thirty-five years.
The thirteen-member ensemble, made up of some of the area’s finest musicians, is conducted by music director Dr. John L. Walker.
