About the Event
While hunting, a prince enters the garden of an evil sorcerer and captures the firebird that lives there. When he releases it at its plea, he receives one of its magical feathers as a gift in gratitude. It will save his life… Whether as a complete ballet or in the form of various suites for the concert hall, The Firebird is one of Igor Stravinsky's most dazzling and popular musical creations. But what musical secrets lie behind the fusion of two Russian folk tales and their fantastical, imaginative interpretation? In his debut as a composer, the young Spanish conductor Julio García Vico deciphers them in his usual manner together with Albert Hosp – a brilliant preview of the subscription program in late fall.
Program
- Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky – 'Der Feuervogel' — Suite aus der Ballettmusik (Fassung von 1919)
Artists
| Orchestra: | Tonkünstler‐Orchester Niederösterreich One of Europe's finest orchestras, the TON can trace its musical history back to the days of Mozart and Haydn. Dividing their time between Vienna, where they play in the Musikverein's 'Golden Hall' and Sankt‐Pölten, the orchestra has long been prized by Austrian audiences for its regular Sunday afternoon concerts, and has been the resident orchestra of the Grafenegg Festival since the latter's founding in 2007. The Tonkünstler is renowned for its adaptability — a trait reflected by the variety of world and Austrian premieres it has played, including Schönberg's immense 'Gurrelieder' and was the first Austrian orchestra to establish a division exclusively dedicated to music education.. Yukata Sado has been the orchestra's chief conductor since 2013 but will stand down in 2025, with French conductor Fabien Gabel set to take over from the 25‐26 season. |
