The musicians of the New Millennium Orchestra of Chicago are as versatile as they are virtuosic, bringing passion and a sense of adventure to the concert experience. The orchestra, led by conductor Francesco Milioto, boasts a repertoire that ranges from traditional and contemporary masterworks of classical and popular music to genre-bending forays into live remixes, improvisations, world music, and multi-media performances.
Hailed by Time Out Chicago as “one of the best additions to the city’s scene,” the New Millennium Orchestra has appeared at the Ravinia Festival, the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, the 2010 Sonar: Chicago Festival, the 2008 Museum of Modern Ice in Millennium Park, and Chicago’s Looptopia festival, and has been a Performing Partner at the Chicago Cultural Center since 2005. Featured collaborators have included members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Grammy-award winning group eighth blackbird, DJ Spooky, Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident, saxophonist and composer Greg Ward, The Flashbulb, the garage-girl group Hollows, and the Grammy-nominated rapper Lupe Fiasco.
