FIREBIRD: FLAMES AND FUry

Signature Series No. 2

Immerse yourself in the dramatic interpretations of "Firebird: Flames and Fury," a concert that takes you on a journey into conflict through a musical experience. Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet tells Shakespeare’s tragedy through symphonic poetry. Then, Jean Sibelius' Karelia Suite brings to life the story of Karelia’s revolt against oppression. Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite is the mythical tale created from Russian folklore about a brave prince and a clever Firebird working together to defeat tyranny and bring freedom to the oppressed. Join us for a night of meaningful and courageous musical conversations.
