Vorfrühling ("The Dawn of Spring")

Approved

Egon Wellesz’s 1911 The Dawn of Spring combines the Viennese musical tradition with French expressionism, while Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, begun the same year, sent audience members into a riot with what Paris newspapers promised would be “the most astonishing polyrhythm ever to come from the mind of a musician.” Meanwhile, Beethoven’s lush and inviting Pastoral Sixth Symphony truly reflects the composer’s love of nature, showing us what he called “Recollections of Country Life.”

Stravinsky’s work will be performed by TŌN alongside members of the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra.
