Stravinsky The Rite of Spring*
Rediscover 20th-century classics that represent landmark moments in The Philadelphia Orchestra’s history! The Orchestra performed the 1922 U.S. premiere of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, the work that had so scandalized Paris audiences only nine years earlier. In 1934 the Orchestra gave the U.S. premiere of Shostakovich’s First Piano Concerto, one of 11 of the composer’s works this Orchestra brought to America for the first time. In these concerts, Shostakovich’s witty Concerto will be performed by Seong-Jin Cho, a pianist of “tremendous fluidity and elegance of style” (Bachtrack).
