About the event
Igor Stravinsky’s setting of the fairy tale of a freed magical creature which wields a magical feather that helps to overturn a fantastical tyrant in The Firebird Suite (1919), and the world premiere of Argentinian composer Andrés Martín’s Vox Concerto, written in musical response to the isolation of the pandemic, with soloist Amos Yang, San Francisco Symphony Assistant Principal Cello. In response to the current conflict in Ukraine, the PVS will add the prelude and postlude of "forgotten Ukrainian master" Thomas de Hartmann's third Symphonie-Poème to our concert.
Pre-concert talk at 6PM with composer Andrés Martín and David Schneider, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Music at Amherst College.
