The Firebird

Harmony with Nature isn’t always quiet. The music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Orthodox Easter celebrates the rebirth of spring and light. The enchanted world of Stravinsky’s The Firebird lies trapped in a wintry darkness, until the magic of fire, love and dazzling music restores it to glowing, vibrant life. And with a piano concerto like no other, composer-pianist Gustavo Díaz-Jerez takes us to the island of La Palma, where the volcano Tajogaite creates even while it destroys.
