MSU Symphony Orchestra: Puppets and Fireflies | Feb. 2, 2024

Igor Stravinsky’s collaboration with Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev was among the most powerful and fructuous unions of the 20th century. This concert will include one of the ballet scores Stravinsky wrote for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. The musical prowess of Petrushka, a trickster puppet, reaffirmed Stravinsky as one of the most important composers of the 20th century. Octavio Más-Arocas and Sally Yu, conductors.
