Sinfonia Da Camera is a vibrant chamber orchestra based at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, known for breathing fresh life into both overlooked classical gems and modern works. Led by conductor and pianist Ian Hobson, the ensemble has carved out a niche for reviving underappreciated composers, like their multi-volume dive into Ignaz Moscheles’ piano concertos, showcasing Romantic-era flair with crisp energy. They’re also champions of American voices, prominently featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning composer George Walker across multiple recordings and spotlighting pieces like William Schuman’s *On Freedom’s Ground*. Whether resurrecting Enescu’s lesser-known works or teaming up with living composers like Stephen Andrew Taylor (*The Machine Awakes*), Sinfonia Da Camera mixes scholarly passion with lively performances, making classical music feel both timeless and timely.
