Strawinskys Jahrmarkt

Young solo bassoonist Theo Plath introduces Stravinsky's Petrushka, a ballet about a tragic fairground hero, to school classes. Set in 19th-century St. Petersburg, the music is dynamic and colorful. Three puppets come to life, leading to a jealousy drama between Petrushka and his rival over a ballerina. Stravinsky's sharp contrasts shocked early 20th-century audiences. The 60-minute concert, designed for grades 5-10, includes pre- and post-concert materials.
