All Things Stravinsky

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The spotlight is on Igor Stravinsky (born on this date in 1882), as Symphony Space's Isaiah Sheffer joins David to present highlights from last season's "Wall to Wall Stravinsky" concert.

We'll follow up our spotlight segment with a performance of Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D featuring Hilary Hahn and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Also featured tonight: works by Jean-Fery Rebel, Francis Poulenc, and another birthday celebrant, American composer Don Gillis. We'll hear his most popular work, the "Symphony for Fun"; David Alan Miller conducts the Albany Symphony Orchestra.
