Cycling onto the concert stage
Regulars, especially subscribers of the Basel Sinfonietta, know it: the orchestra has been breaking with classical music and concert conventions for quite some time now. Founded in 1980, "the Sinfonietta" is and remains driven by the ambition to create music that is truly contemporary. Since 2025, it has been doing so under the presidency of Fran Lorkovic. Principal Conductor Titus Engel is in his fourth season. Fiona Stevens has been the new managing director since summer 2025. Time for a look back.
