Born in 1882, Igor Stravinsky rose to become one of the most influential musical voices of the 20th century.

Among his many masterpieces is the ballet "Apollon musagète"—a work of elegance, clarity, and quiet power that portrays Apollo as leader of the Muses. Nearly a century after its premiere, the music continues to inspire audiences with its grace, balance, and timeless beauty.

We're delighted to feature Stravinsky's "Apollon musagète" this January in BLOOM with Lara Downes, alongside a world premiere honoring jazz's spirit of innovation, and Mozart's radiant Symphony No. 29.

Join us in celebrating a composer whose music continues to shape the artistic landscape.

You can make BLOOM part of your season when you choose two or more concerts and become a New Century subscriber.
