The Rite Of Spring


Something to look forward to :)


ON SACRED GROUND : Stravinsky's Rite of Spring
Performed & arranged by THE BAD PLUS 
 
ON SACRED GROUND sees the piano trio take on Stravinsky's iconic Rite of Spring. The famed ballet that caused a riot on its premiere, opened the door to 20th Century music and animated Disney's Fantasia. The Rite is a touchstone rooted in tribal and Russian folk music. Virtuosic, playful and visceral, The Bad Plus's multi-media show breathes new life into this popular masterpiece. 
 
'By turns cerebral and disarmingly emotive, The Bad Plus boast a rare onstage magnetism that transcends genre' ~ Time Out New York
