Join the ISO for Into the Music, a free series featuring a lively discussion followed by a performance—with full orchestra—of the highlighted classical work. Maestro Jun Märkl will co-host an on-stage discussion joined by Ryan Ahlwardt, who serves as co-host of Indy Now on FOX59.

Whether you’re a classical beginner or a longtime enthusiast, Into the Music offers an intimate look at each classical work in a relaxed, accessible setting. Before the orchestra performs each piece, Maestro Märkl and Ryan Ahlwardt will chat onstage, providing background on each musical work and the composer, what the audience might pay special attention to as they listen and watch the orchestra, and countless insights designed to create a memorable experience with the ISO.

Maestro Märkl and the ISO explore Schumann’s impassioned Fourth Symphony as the season reaches a stirring close.

This event is free; you are encouraged to pay what you wish to support the ISO.
