Symphony on the Circle

The Performance

Join the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and dozens of performing arts partners for this exciting inaugural event on Monument Circle! Designed to celebrate the connections we make through the shared love of music and performance, the ISO has partnered with Downtown Indy, Inc. to offer a free day of live music, food trucks, and networking with community organizations. The event takes place outdoors on Monument Circle starting at 11 a.m., but also continues inside Hilbert Circle Theatre with a special Teddy Bear Concert at noon, an instrument petting zoo, and The Sassy Violist at 1:30 p.m. The day concludes with a livestream at 5:30 p.m. of the ISO performing The Sea: Elgar, Mendelssohn, and Debussy, conducted by Music Director Jun Märkl, broadcast on the large screen outside.
