Famous for its rich rhythms, Russian folkloric melodies and dissonant strains, Stravinsky's 1910 work for the Ballet Russes broke boundaries.

The Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra will perform the entire Firebird in Spaulding Auditorium, enriched by a live projection of choreography by the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble. At the same moment (and on the other side of the Hop) audiences will be immersed in the reworked dance, accompanied in real-time by the dynamic orchestral score.
