A new program from The Philadelphia Orchestra! The Philadelphia Orchestra presents an exploration of Igor Stravinsky’s first major ballet, The Firebird. This kaleidoscopic, groundbreaking work brought overnight fame to Stravinsky, just two years before the infamous riots at the Paris premiere of his third ballet, The Rite of Spring. The event will feature Philadelphia Orchestra violinist Amy Oshiro in conversation with Richard Freedman, professor of music history at Haverford College, unlocking The Firebird’s musical secrets and fascinating history. As part of this program, Ms. Oshiro will demonstrate violin techniques and perform excerpts. There will be time for sites to ask questions and interact at the end of the program.
