Concert information
Info
With his ballet music The Firebird, the young Igor Stravinsky revolutionized the dance theatre – through an unusual fusion of Russian folk music with shimmering timbres and powerful rhythms. Klaus Mäkelä, the incoming Chief Conductor of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, pairs Stravinsky’s work with Andrew Norman’s Symphony Play. In this piece, the American composer explores our attention span in the digital age and the rules of complex video games. He does so with a musical language that oscillates between wit and aggressive sharpness.
