We honor Igor Stravinsky, one of the most influential composers for the ballet, with a performance of electrifying works inspired by his music. Rite of Spring, with its intense and energetic dancing, explores pagan rituals. The premiere of Les Noces, a work of raw power and originality, includes a live performance by the Eugene Vocal Arts Ensemble featuring guest soloists, four pianos and percussion.
