Alexander Shelley leads the Pacific Symphony in a spectacular presentation of Stravinsky's Firebird from January 15 to 18, featuring full-length animated visuals. The concert opens with John Adams’ energetic Short Ride in a Fast Machine, followed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violin Concerto, performed by acclaimed soloist Aubree Oliverson. This program showcases the evolution of American music, as both Korngold and Stravinsky found success after emigrating to the United States, culminating in the enchanting tale of the Firebird, which revolutionized ballet with its groundbreaking score. Audiences will experience the full ballet's narrative alongside its stunning orchestration, enhanced by custom animation from Fowler Amusement.
