Playlist: Symphony Happy Hour

Ignite your imagination with Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Fusing magic and modernity, the 1910 ballet revolutionized orchestral music while reimagining an age-old fairytale. As the music shifts between bold, sweeping movements for the supernatural elements and simpler folk songs for the mortals, it brings to life the story of an evil wizard, captured princesses, a brave prince, and the dazzling, magical Firebird in a whirlwind of color and sound.
