The Rite of Spring Programme: Wynton Marsalis Herald, Holler and Hallelujah! Sergei Rachmaninov The Bells Igor Stravinsky The Rite of Spring Performed by: Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra Cambridge Philharmonic Chorus Harry Sever Conductor Jenny Stafford Soprano Alistair Ollerenshaw Baritone Dominic Bevan Tenor Stravinsky’s ground-breaking The Rite of Spring is forever associated with that riot at a Paris theatre in 1913. Supercharged rhythms and a mystical harmonic language coalesce to create a truly unique score that continues to shock and defy expectations. Known as the ‘Pied Piper of Jazz’ and the ‘Doctor of Swing’, American jazz titan Wynton Marsalis performs and composes across the entire spectrum of jazz and has written jazz-influenced chamber music and symphonic works for revered classical ensembles across the US and abroad. Herald Holler and Hallelujah! is a fanfare for brass and percussion. Rachmaninov’s vibrant setting of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘poetic primitivism’ in The Bells offers a technicolour fantasy of words and music. A musical feast to kick off our West Road concert season. Tickets: £15, £20, £25, £30. Student concessions available Please note that tickets are purchased on a non-refundable basis.
