Intro to Igor: Traditionalist; Iconoclast; Revolutionary
presented by Gary Fagin

1910 – The Firebird; 1911 – Petrouchka; 1913 – The Rite of Spring; three compositions in four years that upended the world of ballet and set the stage for the ascendancy of modernism. We’ll take a deep dive into the first few pages of the first of these three works, The Firebird, to investigate how Igor Stravinsky based his compositional techniques on well-worn traditional concepts, yet changed the paradigm of music for an entire century, and beyond.
