Palm Beach Symphony Chamber Music Series Presents THE SOLDIER'S TALE Concert
By: Stephi Wild Feb. 12, 2020
In a delightful mash-up of Stravinsky and animation, Palm Beach Symphony Chamber Music Series presents Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale) performed to the 1984 award-winning animated film by R.O. Blechman on Wednesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. in the Stiller Family Foundation Auditorium at the Norton Museum of Art, 1450 Dixie Hwy., West Palm Beach.
Stravinsky's spirited score featuring fiddling and dances with nods to waltzes, tango and ragtime, makes the perfect accompaniment to the story of a soldier's deal with the devil and a princess in need of rescue. Best known for his drawings for The New Yorker, Blechman animated Stravinsky's theater piece for PBS in 1984 and won an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animated Programing.
Gregory Cardi will lead the chamber orchestra which features: Evija Ozolins, violin; Juan Carlos Peña, bass; Anna Brumbaugh, clarinet; Luciano Magnanini, bassoon; Craig Morris, trumpet; Domingo Pagliuca, trombone; and Svetoslav Stoyanov, percussion.
Tickets are $25-$50 and are available online at PalmBeachSymphony.org; by phone at (561) 281-0145; or by visiting the Palm Beach Symphony Box Office, Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-3 p.
