Kick off our year of Stravinsky with his first breakaway hit, The Firebird. The compelling story and music capture the listener and catapulted the composer to international fame. Violinist Danielle Belen joins the strings and percussion sections in Leonard Bernstein’s only violin concerto, the heady “Serenade” right after we open the season with the pageantry of Glinka’s festive overture.
