"In Darkness We Rise" Presented by Chicago Sinfonietta



Chicago Sinfonietta presents works of hope and resilience in the face of oppression, inspired by the writings of history’s unexpected storytellers. Be transported by the powerful poetry of the Great War, the Klezmer tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews, and a heartfelt, mourner’s lament from inside a Gestapo prison cell. Immerse yourself as the concert hall transforms into a lighting and listening experience beyond words, set to the music of Henryk Górecki’s groundbreaking best-seller Symphony of Sorrowful Songs featuring two side-by-side youth orchestras. 

Plus, reflect with us pre-show and during intermission with BRIDGE – our audience engagement sponsored by Macy’s! Participate in interactive activities with the Anti-Defamation League, learn more about the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, explore a moving pop-up exhibit from local artists, and tell your story in pictures with Fotio.
