VSO - The Rite of Spring

All things spring! Maestro Tausk continues to explore the music of Schumann alongside one of the 20th Century’s most important musical works, Stravinsky’s scandalous The Rite of Spring. With its celebration of pagan ritual, there was a riot at its premiere. It is now recognized as a modern masterpiece.

Bloom is a new work by Japanese-Canadian composer Rita Ueda, and is a rare double koto concerto. Playing the koto is guest soloist Miyama McQueen-Tokita, who is known for her energetic and expressive music making. Bloom is commissioned by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Victoria Symphony with generous support from the Hugh Davidson Fund administered by the Victoria Foundation.
