The Rite of Spring
Highlighting obvious contrasts, but also discovering unexpected affinities between composers and pieces, while defining a coherent whole is one of the challenges that Principal Conductor Lorenzo Viotti enjoys embracing in his programmes. The two great pieces chosen for this concert, under the topic Music and Nature, are the example of precisely said purpose, by converging expressions of similar feelings, although a hundred years apart.
