Tania LEÓN Stride
STRAVINSKY The Rite of Spring

Friday evening’s concert is supported by Lynn Dale and Frank Wisneski.

Tania León’s Pulitzer Prize-winning piece Stride draws on her Cuban heritage and her long association with dance to create music rich with rhythmic vitality and scintillating instrumental colors. Closing the concert is and one of the most influential pieces in history: Igor Stravinsky’s ballet score The Rite of Spring, a work of primal power.

Friday's concert will end around 9:15pm.
