LineUp

Igor Stravinsky, the Russian-born titan of 20th-century music, revolutionized classical sound with his bold rhythms and innovative harmonies. His iconic ballets "The Firebird," "Petrushka," and the riot-inducing "The Rite of Spring," created for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, remain cornerstones of modernism. He also explored neoclassicism and serialism.
Australian conductor Christopher Dragon, from Perth, is celebrated for his dynamic orchestral performances spanning classical, film, and pops. He leads the Greensboro Symphony, Philly Pops, and is Resident Conductor of the Colorado Symphony. Dragon's versatility includes collaborations with artists like Wu-Tang Clan and Joshua Bell, and he earned an ARIA for his work with Josh Pyke.
Stravinsky's Firebird, a ballet and orchestral work, premiered in Paris in 1910 for the Ballets Russes. Rooted in Russian folklore, its dazzling, evocative style blends Romanticism with modernism, launching Stravinsky to international fame. The 1919 suite remains a beloved orchestral piece, celebrated for its shimmering colors and driving rhythms.
