Radical Magic – The Sound of Stravinsky: Pulcinella Stravinsky (+2 More)

The composer of the future in the early 20th century, Stravinsky still sounds new every time you hear him.

The Programme
From its striking opening flourish to the Technicolor triumph of its final chord, Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements makes audiences sit up in their seats. It was written at the end of World War II, after the composer’s move to the United States – can you pick out the rhythms of marching soldiers and the sound of American victory?

Stravinsky’s ballet Pulcinella puts the composer’s distinctive stamp on a 200-year-old musical style, with fabulous roles for three solo singers.

The Performers
LSO Associate Artist Barbara Hannigan’s conducting debut was a Stravinsky opera, and her passion for the composer shines through every performance. She’s joined by her choice of standout performers.
