STRAVINSKY Suite from The Firebird (1945 Revision)
Stravinsky’s Firebird has it all: a prince, 13 princesses, the Firebird’s magic feather, and an evil ogre and his hellish minions! You’ll feel the music’s vibrant colors and rich harmonies, glittering and pulsing with fantastic effects, leading to the gossamer Lullaby and a shimmering Finale proclaiming a happily-ever-after. Concertmaster Alexander Kerr solos in Mozart’s sparkling Concerto No. 5, complete with a Turkish march.
