Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite (1911)
The rocket-like rise of conductor Stephanie Childress continues with her Tampere debut, imbued with anticipation and magic: Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird glows with the fantasy of a folk tale, while Benjamin Britten’s Les Illuminations sweeps Marjukka Tepponen into existential turbulence. American-Armenian Mary Kouyoumdjian is known for soundscapes drawn from her own roots, with a hypnotic pull that bypasses the subconscious. Her latest work comes to life in this concert.
