Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra: The Rite of Spring at the Concertgebouw

O wydarzeniu

Relish the opportunity to hear what happens when two powerful musical traditions collide. The legendary St Petersburg Philharmonic comes to the Concertgebouw with music by Ravel and Stravinsky.

With their guest artist, acclaimed French pianist Jean‐Yves Thibaudet, the Russians and their celebrated artistic director, Yuri Termirkanov play Ravel's La Valse and the Piano Concerto in G, before turning to the ultimate fusion of Russian and French musical culture — Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'. Scenes from Pagan Russia brought to life for Diaghilev's Parisian Ballets Russes, both Russia and France had a profound impact on this seminal work.
