Eighty high school students take part in Songs: Ritual Rhythms, developing original music based on conceptual themes and musical elements of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps). The workshops will be led by educators and musicians from the Berliner Philharmoniker. Songs: Ritual Rhythms strives to encourage participants’ creativity.
An explosion of sights and sounds hits the stage when 120 elementary, middle, and high school students from upper Manhattan dance to the Berliner Philharmoniker’s live performance of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. The presentation will be preceded by eight weeks of rehearsals with a team of choreographers.
