The Soldier's Tale

Don’t Miss The Soldier’s Tale: You’d think this devilishly challenging septet was composed for our times!

Part concert, part theatrical performance, The Soldier’s Tale is your classic devil-went-down-to-Georgia/Ukraine story. Seven APO musicians undertake one of Stravinsky’s most difficult works. Meanwhile, dramatic readings from our friends at Trike Theatre set the shocking scene.

Created just in time to be shut down due to the Spanish Flu in 1918, The Soldier’s Tale sounds as jagged and feels as unsettling today as it did then.
