Firebird | PSO

SYMPHONIC SERIES 1

An exotic fairy tale of mystical romanticism and brilliant orchestration, Stravinsky’s Firebird is the centrepiece of a kaleidoscopic program, also featuring the bravura showpiece of Saint-Saëns fifth piano concerto.

The languid sensuality and subtle hues of Debussy’s masterpiece, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun marked a modernist turning point with its premiere in 1894.
