This weekend, the LA Philharmonic performs Igor Stravinsky’s seminal masterpiece, The Rite of Spring, with music director Gustavo Dudamel. The concerts mark the opening of the 2012-13 season at Walt Disney Concert Hall. I spoke with Dudamel as well as several members of the LA Phil about what it’s like to perform The Rite. Here are a few of my favorite moments from those conversations.
And a bit more from Dudamel:
I was amazed to see how much dencireffe that could be made among the desperate ones with your misical program. I am ministering in Cap-Haitian Haiti, where your program would make a lot of dencireffe in so many lives. My question to you is how can you help me estabish this in Haiti?May God bless you.
