  • Review: Chicago Sinfonietta and Mucca Pazza at Symphony Center Review – Kindred Spirits Leave Audience Beaming Smiles

Review: Chicago Sinfonietta and Mucca Pazza at Symphony Center Review – Kindred Spirits Leave Audience Beaming Smiles

by CMO / Tuesday, 23 September 2014 / Published in Recent Press
Mucca Pazza performs Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with the Chicago Sinfonietta.

“When Chicago Sinfonietta coined it’s new logo – ‘Daring, Defiant, Different’—they mistakenly left out ‘Delightful’. That was abundantly clear by the end of their joint concert with seeming kindred spirit Mucca Pazza, the punk marching band that has bottled joy in its shtick-on-steroids marching band persona.

“…With cheerleaders carrying pom-poms made from crime scene caution tape, band members wearing ill-fitting marching band suits in varied colors, and every gesture shouting “don’t take this seriously please”—Mucca Pazza brought everyone in the audience to ear-to-ear smiles. Just in case you didn’t think that this was possibly the most delightful time you had ever spent in Symphony Center, cannons shot out confetti during the 1812 Overture.”
