Stravinsky: Rite of Spring (Live 4.24.13)
First performed in Paris on May 29, 1913, the music Igor Stravinsky created for Vaslav Nijinksy’s Rite of Spring ballet, and the choreography itself, provoked a riot among the opening night audience.
On April 24, 2013 The New England Conservatory Philharmonia lead by Stanford and Norma Jean Calderwood Director of Orchestras Hugh Wolff performed the Rite in Jordan Hall, Boston.
