L’histoire du soldat, by Igor Stravinsky
$25 General Admission / $5 Children Under 12 / Donations are accepted
(Note: There will be no pre-concert, and the performance is 55’ with no intermission.)
"On November 1st - one night only - the Odyssey Chamber Music Series presents Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat, The Soldier’s Story. This one hour presentation features seven musicians – Julie Rosenfeld (violin), Iskander Akhmadullin (trumpet), Megan Arns (percussion), Wesley Warnhoff (clarinet), Austin Way (bassoon), Tim Howe (trombone) and Isaac Foley (contrabass). In addition, there are actors: John McKeever (Devil), Aaron Krawitz (Narrator and Soldier), and dancer Kailey Baker, who is the Princess and has a dance solo.
This piece, written in 1918, tells a story that is a dark Faustian fable about a soldier and the Devil, who eventually possesses the soldier’s soul. The soldier’s violin becomes a symbol of both the soldier’s soul and the Devil’s wiles. The story is based on an old Russian folk tale but is a lesson for all cultures and times. Stravinsky uses tango rhythms, marches, and a waltz to create a most entertaining presentation.
It is rarely performed. We would be delighted to see you there." - Aaron Krawitz
