Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps
Friday 25 September 2026, 20:15
Debussy / Takemitsu / Stravinsky Le Sacre du Printemps by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky is one of the most revolutionary works ever written. The unprecedented driving force of Stravinsky's majestic spring offering still speaks to the imagination. The dancing primal rhythm and emotional language of the Sacre has inspired countless composers. Within the framework of the TROMP Concours, masterworks from the twentieth century are given new life. Stravinsky's big bang is accompanied by two kindred spirits, ritual orchestral works. The atmospheric rainbow tints of Claude Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune set an unprecedented dream world ablaze. An extraordinary percussion spectacular is unleashed in the meditative From me flows what you call time by Japanese Toru Takemitsu. Four percussionists under the direction of specialist Dominique Vleeshouwers take up the challenge together with Philzuid.
