Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Online Score Study Part IV

On Sunday, June 2nd, we’ll be continuing our journey into one of the 20th century’s greatest works, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. Written for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company in 1910, Firebird was the first of several momentous collaborations between the two men, and interestingly, was before Stravinsky rose to fame. This will be the penultimate Firebird study, focusing on the Danse Infernale. Composer Jeff Toyne will be joining our discussion as a special guest!

In May 2023, we started our study, and the video from that study is available on our site for Orchestra and Philharmonic members to watch. Now it’s time to crack open that score again! If you missed the previous parts, catch up here (https://scoringarts.com/eventlibrary/stravinskys-firebird-suite-part-1/) but even if you don’t have time, there are many pearls of composition and orchestrational genius that we’ll delve into in the new sections.

This event will be held on Zoom at 10am Pacific Time, and we welcome all of our members (Chamber, Orchestra, and Philharmonic) to join for free. If you’re not a member, sign up for any tier of membership (including our free tier, Chamber) to get access to the live event. The link will be sent out the day before the event, and also posted to our home page. Please spread the word via socials and we hope to see you there!
