Eduardo Strausser kicks off the new season with a return to the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) on 7 Sep for a concert including Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Also programmed is Borodin’s ‘Polovtsian Dances’ from Prince Igor and selections from De Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat.
In an article for the classical magazine, Music Makers, Strausser explains how Stravinsky created a new approach to the role of the orchestra in Petrushka, where the orchestra is given a leading role as one more character to the plot. To read the full article for CutCommon, please click here.
