A scandal? A concert turned riot? This was the headline the day after the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring' in 1913. Understandable, as the innovative score and provocative choreography of this ballet deeply shocked pre-war audiences. The composer's retort to his critics: "Go to hell." Let's hope the Philharmonie audience has a more measured response as we musically explore springtime festivities: first, an exuberant carnival, then the ancient pagan rite depicted by Stravinsky.
