Stravinsky's Firebird

We welcome the cool dawn with the playful energy of Lili Boulanger’s Of a Spring Morning. Pianist Zoltán Fejérvári infuses Bartók’s serene Third Piano Concerto with the lilt of their shared native Hungarian tongue. And conductor Edward Gardner, acclaimed for his Stravinsky performances, returns to the DSO for a Firebird crackling with danger and precision.

Pre-concert talks are an opportunity for conductors, musicians, and other experts to share more about the music and enhance your connection to the evening's program. You will get a glimpse into the composer's inspiration, the story behind a work, what to look for in a soloist's performance, and more! With a deeper understanding of the music, your symphony experience will be more engaging and even more memorable. Please note, our pre-concert talks are scheduled for every PVS Classical Series performance, except Friday morning Coffee Concerts.
