Very seldom does the opportunity come along to immerse one’s self in the life and work of a major American composer; to indulge in the private and public face of a complicated and somewhat tortured individual. The Stravinsky Project presented by Strathmore and the Post-Classical Ensemble has already celebrated the Russian identity of Igor Stravinsky through film, concert, visual art, and educational experiences. And they have saved the best for Sunday, taking place in both the Mansion and the Concert Hall at Strathmore.

“Stravinsky is often considered the most important 20th century composer who we’ve had an opportunity to completely reinterpret,” said Stravinsky scholar and program host, Joseph Horowitz. “He exiled [himself] from Russia and after leaving, he decided he wanted nothing to do with it. I call this the psychology of exile.”
