The Rite of Spring

Libby Burgess

Chris Hopkins

Musical polymath Libby Burgess and acclaimed conductor-pianist Chris Hopkins combine forces to perform one of the great works of the twentieth century, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. This electrifying music provoked riots and disbelief when it was premiered in 1913. The composer's own piano duet arrangement is virtuosic and gripping. Not to be missed.
