Wednesday, August 24, Elley-Long Music Center 3:00pm | Inside Pitch: The Soldier's Tale, A Time of Crisis Stravinsky's L'histoire du soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) was influenced by the disruptive events of its time, from the First World War to the Spanish Flu of 1918. Join David Serkin Ludwig in exploring the many facets of Stravinsky's The Soldier’s Tale from the history of its composition and first performance, to its folktale text and decidedly international musical forms. 4:30pm | Young Composers Sounding Board 2: Recording Session Written by our 2022 Young Composers and performed by our festival artists, this recording session will be guided by our Grammy-winning Audio Producer, Alan Bise, as we capture these new compositions for the first time.

In this session David Serkin Ludwig will explore music written under the pressures of “force majeure“, from Dufay’s compositions written during the Black Plague, to Messiaen’s composing as a prisoner-of-war, to composers today responding to the difficulties COVID.
