No other composer in the twentieth century wrote in such a multiplicity of styles as Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). From neo-classicism to serialism, ballet to chamber works, Stravinsky’s musical genius was wide-ranging. Miller Theatre at Columbia University explores this epic composer’s astonishing variety in this Festival featuring over 45 works drawn from his chamber music, songs, choral compositions, and orchestral music.
