Igor Stravinsky: Violin Concerto in DEliot Heaton, soloist
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 2 in e minor
On paper, the biographies of Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff read almost identically: they were born less than a decade apart in Russia to wealthy, musically-active families; they were worldly, spending much of their early years living abroad in various European capitals and building an international reputation; they permanently left Russia because of the revolution there, which had no place for either of them; and the ravages of war eventually meant they emigrated to the United States, even dining together at their respective homes in Los Angeles. Yet the music they produced could not have been more different: Stravinsky’s thorny, hard-bitten, thrillingly rhythmic language was diametrically opposed to Rachmaninoff’s brooding, arch-Romantic voluptuousness. Here, simply juxtaposed against one another, are two of their greatest works. For the Stravinsky, we are joined by brilliant soloist Eliot Heaton, newly a member of the vaunted Philadelphia Orchestra.
Tickets to our Kalamazoo performances are available at the door, and cost $7 for general admission, $3 for students, and are free for students of Kalamazoo College.
