"THE RITE OF SPRING" - Saturday Jan. 18 8:00pm ET

Streaming: Saturday, January 18, at 7:45pm EST

Stravinsky’s "Rite of Spring" is a heart-pounding tour-de-force for the DSO. An otherworldly bassoon fills Orchestra Hall as various instruments interject. Suddenly, the raw and unstoppable dance begins. Francesca Dego’s “verve, and an evident delight in the unexpected,” ("Gramophone") come through in Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto. Inspired by an ancient legend, French composer Camille Pepin’s "Celestial Waters" summons cosmic sounds.
