L'histoire du Soldat: Holiday Concert!
Set to music by Igor Stravinsky, with a libretto based on a Russian folk tale, the much loved L'hstoire du Soldat is a parable about a soldier who trades his fiddle to the devil for a book that predicts the future of the economy. The music-orchestral color at the fore - is scored for a septet of violin, double bass, clarinet, bassoon, cornet, trombone, and percussion and the story is told by a narrator, in this case the celebrated English baritone Benjamin Luxon. With virtuoso violinist Yehonatan Berick leading the performance.
