About this event

Textures and colours are to the fore in this concert with a French accent. Our triptych of Stravinsky ballets continues with The Firebird 鈥 the work that seized the ears of Paris鈥檚 elite with its urgent rhythms and evocative Russian folk melodies. We celebrate Boulez鈥檚 90th-birthday year with his first work for full orchestra, a sophisticated experiment in colours and timbres. Marc-Andr茅 Hamelin joins the 麻豆社 SO for Ravel鈥檚 jazz-influenced Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, commissioned by the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein.
