The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will perform The Rite of Spring, led by acclaimed conductor Pietari Inkinen, on Saturday 22 February.
The Rite of Spring by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky is one of the most thrilling pieces of music ever composed. When first performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées back in 1913, the avant-garde nature of the music caused a sensation, with many calling the first-night reaction a "riot".
While originally designed as a work for the stage, the music of The Rite of Spring achieved equal if not greater recognition as a concert piece and is widely considered to be one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century.
The program on Saturday 22 February will also include Wagner’s Die Meistersinger – Prelude, and Sibelius’ The Swan of Tuonela.
