Stravinksy’s Firebird Suite, written to accompany Diaghilev’s ballet, blends the composer’s orchestral wizardry with Russian folk tunes. By turns shimmering and spooky, the music surges with rich color and atmosphere, unfolding with slow-burn momentum toward one of classical music’s most satisfying finales. Regarding Anna Clyne’s new work for orchestra—which the Music Festival co-commissioned—the composer offers this note: “Woman of the Mountain evokes the journey of an extraordinary woman in the throes of the natural world on a quest for love as she reaches a mountain’s summit.”
