INDIANAPOLIS—The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Cello Ensemble takes the spotlight in the first episode of IndyGo’s 2023 “Music in Transit” Series, which debuts June 20. The Cello Ensemble includes Austin Huntington, Rachel Ko, Nick Donatelle, Stephen Hawkey, Sam Viguerie, James Cooper, CJ Collins and Jonah Krolik performing classical pieces and familiar tunes showcasing programs from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s regular season at Hilbert Circle Theatre.
The award-winning concert web series presented by IndyGo, Square Cat Vinyl and GANGGANG, debuts its fifth season June 20. This year’s season will showcase 10 Indianapolis-based and three Indiana-based multi-genre musical acts performing on an IndyGo rapid transit bus.
The new season can be viewed on Square Cat Vinyl’s YouTube channel. After the season debut featuring the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, new episodes will be released every Sunday, at 2 p.m.
“Music in Transit” was created in 2019 by Square Cat Vinyl, a coffee and record shop located along the Red Line in Fountain Square, with the support of the Indy Arts Council to celebrate the local arts community in tandem with the expansion of public transit. Since its inaugural season, the series has received seven NATAS Regional Emmy nominations with one win for outstanding audio in 2019. The series also received Indy Chamber’s 2020 Monumental Award for public art.
