The Verde Valley Sinfonietta is pleased to announce the appointment of its next Artistic Director and Conductor, Janna Hymes.  Ms. Hymes was chosen from four superb finalists in Sinfonietta’s season-long search for a new music director. She was chosen from an original field of 99 candidates who initially applied for the position.

Her April 2nd performance with the Sinfonietta in Sedona included rousing performances of the Saint-Saens 1st Cello concert, with guest soloist Sterling Elliott, and Beethoven's 7th Symphony.  The Sinfonietta's 8-member search committee, comprised equally of orchestral musicians and board members, selected Hymes after considering both audience and orchestra evaluations.

The president of the Sinfonietta and Chair of the Search Committee, Sue Buffum, commented “The board of trustees are delighted and excited to elevate the performance level of the orchestra under Janna Hyme's direction. We believe that Janna will bring energetic and exciting artistic performances for the pleasure of the orchestra and the audience.”

There will be additional exciting  Sinfonietta announcements coming soon!
