No other work of music has ever created the uproar that came with the 1913 premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Commotion reigned from the first downbeat to the moment the police arrived—the ballet seemed barbaric and dissonant to listeners of that time, its rhythms too powerful. Now an iconic masterwork, The Rite caps our Stravinsky celebration with a rare joint performance of the Twin Cities' premier orchestras.
