The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) recently performed a concert featuring music by Stravinsky and Tan Dun on May 18th and 19th, 2024 [2]. The program included:
* **Stravinsky:**
* Fireworks
* Song of the Nightingale (possibly a transcription from a Chinese-themed opera)
* **Tan Dun:**
* Five Muses of Dunhuang (U.S. premiere) - This piece featured forgotten instruments depicted on ancient murals.
* Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds
This concert was particularly interesting because it explored the connection between these two composers. Stravinsky was known for his innovative use of rhythm and his exploration of different musical styles, while Tan Dun is known for blending Chinese and Western traditions in his music. The concert likely offered a unique opportunity to hear how these two composers influenced each other's work.
