OVERVIEW

Feel the contrast between the starkness of the desert and the frenetic intensity of spring’s awakening, as Creative Partner David Robertson pushes the boundaries of sound and sensation in an electrifying performance. Delve into the hypnotic minimalism of Steve Reich’s The Desert Music as the haunting vocals of London-based Synergy Vocals (known for their performances of Steve Reich’s works) evoke vast, barren expanses.

Then, brace for the impact of Stravinsky’s groundbreaking The Rite of Spring, where primal rhythms and explosive energy collide to depict the raw power of nature in all its untamed glory. Lose yourself in the relentless pulse of creation and destruction as Stravinsky captures elemental forces—and the wildness of life and death.
