Fromm Players at Harvard Present: Annea Lockwood Portrait Concert

Harvard University Department of Music

Two singular composers tell the tale of a fiddler’s Faustian bargain and musical duel with the devil. The suite from L’histoire du soldat is one of Stravinsky’s most memorable chamber works, retaining the stylistic range, dance elements, and expert instrumentation of his larger-scale compositions. In Wynton Marsalis’s re-imagining, A Fiddler’s Tale, he takes Stravinsky’s early jazz ingredients even further, melding jazz and classical idioms together with an updated narrative—here performed by special guest Phylicia Rashad and conducted by longtime Marsalis collaborator Damien Sneed. Hear both works performed by outstanding members of the acclaimed Gateways Music Festival.
