Stravinsky wrote his works for piano and violin to perform himself with violinist Samuel Dushkin. With original works and arrangements from some of his masterpieces such as Petrushka and The Firebird, this program investigates his sparkling compositions for this duo combination. 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.
