Justin S. Kinchen, classical violinist and jazz trumpeter, is returning to his hometown to perform with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra.

Kinchen, an up-and-coming musician and composer, is slated to join the ISO for an afternoon of music exploration at 3 p.m. on March 9 at the Schrott Center for the Arts. Kinchen is one of several guest artists invited to perform “Limelight: A Conversation with Sound” under the direction of Maestro Matthew Kraemer.

“Limelight: A Conversation in Sound” will feature a variety of musical genres, including classical, jazz and contemporary.
