Stravinsky Symphony of Psalms and Les Noces

Trevor Weston No Time for Idle Cares (Cecilia Chorus commission - world premiere)

Stravinsky’s great choral works - his deeply spiritual Symphony of Psalms, and his electrifying Les Noces - are rarely performed. The original instrumentation of his thrillingly ritual Les Noces, with four grand pianos and percussion, was last heard in Carnegie Hall in the birth year of the internet, when Sally Ride became the first American woman to venture into space, and Vanessa WIllisams the first Black Miss America. The evening’s program traces a glorious crescendo: Symphony of Psalms with two pianos; a newly commissioned work by Trevor Weston with three pianos; and Les Noces with four pianos.  Featuring four of New York’s finest contemporary pianists.
