Black and white portrait of Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring

Wed, Sep 20–Thu, Sep 21, 2023 Roy Thomson Hall

Your Toronto Symphony Orchestra proudly kicks off Year 101 with a musical mosaic, highlighted by the multi-faceted Jean-Yves Thibaudet’s electrifying take on Gershwin’s jazz-influenced Piano Concerto in F. The performance opens with Lili Boulanger’s vibrant and delicate tone poem D’un matin de printemps, countering the controversial score of Stravinsky’s wildly hypnotic and primal The Rite of Spring.
