Firebird
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
With a large orchestra, one can tell whole stories. One of the greatest musical storytellers was undoubtedly Igor Stravinsky. The sounds and rhythms conjured by him caused scandals more than 100 years ago - today, on the other hand, they inspire us to create grand images like in the cinema. This is also the case with the tale of the "Firebird" with all its sophisticated colors and instruments: eerie and dark sounds for the immortal sorcerer Kashchey, bright colors for the Firebird, and folkloric music for the prince and princess. Unusual orchestral instruments such as tambourine and xylophone are also included.
