Palau 100 Series: Concert 'The Rite of Spring' by Stravinsky

Artist Info: Maxim Vengerov (violin), Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Myung-Whun Chung (conductor). Program: P. I. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 and I. Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring. Two iconic works representing contrasting stylistic worlds and significant moments of social and cultural transformation in Russia. Virtuoso Maxim Vengerov performs Tchaikovsky's passionate Violin Concerto, promising a highly intense experience. In the second part, veteran South Korean conductor Myung-Whun Chung and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra immerse us in Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring—a pulse of rhythm, color, and orchestral tension that shook the music world from its first chord. A concert oscillating between lyricism and primitivism on a night of radical contrasts.
