Next up is Francis Poulenc's Les biches Suite, a playful and evocative work that blends neoclassical and jazz elements with irresistible charm. Finally, the Chicago Sinfonietta is proud to present the world premiere of The Evolution of AI a piece by Clarice Assad*, co-commissioned with SPCO/ROCO/ACO, with the talented composer and performer.  This piece is sure to captivate and inspire with its bold, innovative sound and unforgettable melodies. 

Throughout the concert, the Chicago Sinfonietta will echo with the vibrant energy and creativity of women in music, celebrating their artistic achievements and paving the way for future generations of female musicians. Don't miss this powerful tribute to the women who have shaped the world of classical music and continue to inspire us today. 

*The co-commission of Clarice Assad’s The Evolution of AI is part of New Music USA’s Amplifying Voices program, which fosters collaboration and collective action between US orchestras and composers toward racial and gender equity in classical music. Amplifying Voices is powered by the Sphinx Venture Fund, with additional support from ASCAP, the Sorel Organization, the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation, and The Wise Family Charitable Foundation.
