Chen Yi’s new work brings her signature blend of Chinese traditional themes and Western orchestral forms to this new commission. Stravinsky takes baroque-era music and spikes it with his inimitable sense of harmony and rhythm in his Suite from Pulcinella. Violinist Randall Goosby pulls out all the melodic and soulful stops of Tchaikovsky’s only violin concerto.

An all-new commission from the genre-bending Resident Artistic Catalyst Daniel Bernard Roumain kicks off an epic season finale. Superstar Joshua Bell brings to life Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1. Stravinsky’s energetic and dark tale The Rite of Spring, based on pagan rituals in Russia, was a truly groundbreaking masterpiece that became among the important and exhilarating musical works of the 20th century.
