Wa Sinfonietta (NYC) – Upcoming Concerts

The Wa Sinfonietta is the newest project of the Artena Foundation, which was co-founded by conductor Charles Neidich and committed to fostering harmony, connection, and cultural exchange through the universal language of music and by presenting diverse musical genres and styles.

According to Mr. Neidich: "The Wa Sinfonietta is the first step in expanding our mission in the educational sphere where young musicians not only can hone their instrumental and ensemble skills as they begin their professional lives, but can deepen their understanding of music so they can become effective advocates for its power to foster cooperation and its essential importance in bringing people together from all walks of life in today's world." Mr. Neidich said, "Wa (和) is a very special word in Japanese: a circle or ring symbolizing harmony, completeness, the continuity of past, present, future, and the unity of all of humankind."
