Stravinsky's Le Sacre Du Printemps En Wynton Marsalis' Celloconcert – Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam

About this event

A symphonic orchestral concert by the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra at Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam pairs Igor Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps with the European premiere of Wynton Marsalis’s Cello Concerto, a new work partly commissioned by the orchestra. United by driving, propulsive rhythms, Marsalis blends jazz and classical idioms while Stravinsky’s revolutionary score, infamous at its 1913 Paris premiere, forged a new musical language of pulse and dissonance. The orchestra performs under Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu. American star cellist Alisa Weilerstein appears as soloist in the Marsalis concerto, making her debut with the orchestra. The same artists appear on both dates.
