[BROADCAST] Seattle Symphony: The Roots – Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring

Igor Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring

This week we're broadcasting a two-part presentation of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring led by Music Director Thomas Dausgaard — our musical gift of comfort, joy, and hope to you, our Symphony family here in Seattle and around the world.

Part One: Ukrainian folk musicians Juliana & PAVA join Thomas Dausgaard and the orchestra on a journey that takes audiences through the musical traditions that inspired Stravinsky's groundbreaking score.

Part Two: Dausgaard and the Seattle Symphony perform the complete score of Stravinsky's thrilling and electrifying masterpiece, The Rite of Spring.

As our community comes together in this time of crisis, the Seattle Symphony will continue sharing performances that provide strength, comfort and joy. The musicians of the Seattle Symphony have generously volunteered to share free broadcasts with everyone during this time of uncertainty. All broadcasts can be streamed through the Symphony’s social media channels on YouTube and Facebook.

The broadcast begins at 8pm Pacific.
