So I am excited to post that I am attending the Chicago Sinfonietta this Saturday night at the Naperville Wenzt Hall! My dear friends and mentors Ricardo Castañeda and Lucia Matos will be performing! I think it is very important for musicians and music lovers to actively partake in listening to music. This means supporting local ensembles (big to small) and being a supportive active listener.
This is how one can improve as a player too. Listening to what is currently being performed in your local scene you will have a sense of what music is relevant, what people are responding to, and how you can fit into that community. It is important to listen to musicians that you aspire to as well. So, you can see, and hear, how they interpret and perform their craft.
Feel free to check out this ensemble. They do great collaborative work in the Chicago area and strive to bring new music of diverse backgrounds to our city.
