In 1913, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring unleashed such raw, primitive rhythms at its Paris premiere that the shocked its audience and started a riot.
Decades later, Walt Disney transformed the terrifying pagan ritual into Fantasia’s cinematic, dinosaur-filled dawn of prehistoric Earth. Alongside this ground-breaking work is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Fourth Piano Concerto, a glimpse into 1920s America: smoky harmonies, sly syncopations, and a piano part that flickers like neon. Starting with William Mathias’ Jubilee Dances, Wrexham Symphony Orchestra erupts into their new season!
