It caused a riot at its premiere and later a battle of words between its composer and the Walt Disney Company. Now, nearly a century after its composition, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring still retains the capacity to shock and move us more than almost any other work in the orchestral repertoire. Our presentation of this epic score will open with a multimedia exploration of its history and musical content followed by a performance of the complete work.
