Stravinsky composed at the piano, so it is no surprise that his piano music has all the color and energy of his orchestral music. This concert features works for piano that Stravinsky wrote for himself to perform with his son Soulima, along with compositions he wrote for such virtuosic performers as Artur Rubinstein. A five-concert festival produced by Miller Theatre at Columbia University in association with Park Avenue Armory and the Morgan Library and Museum with the generous underwriting of The Reed Foundation. No other composer in the twentieth century wrote in such a multiplicity of styles as Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). From neo-classicism to serialism, ballet to chamber works, Stravinsky’s musical genius was wide-ranging. Miller Theatre at Columbia University explores this epic composer’s astonishing variety in this Festival featuring over 45 works drawn from his chamber music, songs, choral compositions, and orchestral music.
