Electrifying young conductor Krzysztof Urbański unleashes the full force of Stravinsky's powerful (and unpredictable) masterwork. A legendary, avant-garde ballet score, The Rite of Spring shocked audiences into a frenzy at its Paris premiere in 1913 creating seminal musical tremors still felt today.
Francesca Dego makes her Kennedy Center debut in Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2, a timely restorative work full of grace, warmth, compassion, and nomadic charm.
