Klaus MäkeläConductor

This program of Stravinsky ballets features the Carnegie Hall debut of a rising-star conductor: Klaus Mäkelä, recently named the next music director of Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. The Firebird is a colorful showpiece that catapulted Stravinsky to international fame, and Mäkelä’s reading of it has been praised as “organic … each scene flowing seamlessly into the next” (Chicago Classical Review). The Rite of Spring is a revolutionary work, a true milestone that continues to seize and thrill audiences more than a century after its famously riotous Parisian debut.
