Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Classically Modern

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Classically Modern at Hilbert Circle Theatre

Classically Modern brings a contemporary perspective into a Friday ISO concert. On April 2, 2027, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra brings Classically Modern to Hilbert Circle Theatre in Indianapolis, with conductor Andrew Litton leading a program built to move you. It starts at 7:30 PM. That gives you an evening with a purpose, and a reason to dress up a little and actually go out.

The centerpiece is cellist Paul Watkins, featured in Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme. A solo cello can sound like a human voice, and hearing one live with a full orchestra behind it is a different experience from any recording. You are not settling for a vague "night of classical favorites." You are getting a named soloist, a named conductor and a published lineup of works.

That lineup has real range. Stravinsky's Apollo brings ballet-related orchestral music to the concert hall, with no dancers required, just the sound. Then comes Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9, a concise symphony that rounds out the night. Three distinct works make three distinct moods, and the evening moves through them without feeling like more of the same. The repertoire is announced and subject to change, but the promise is clear: a thoughtfully balanced orchestral concert. If you want a night out that feels special, share it with someone who loves music or someone you'd like to introduce to it.
