Commissioned by Diaghilev, the work describes a pagan ritual where a virgin dances herself to death. The riots that ensued in the theatre were a reaction to Stravin- sky's jarring rhythms and complex innovations, Nijin- sky's exotic choreography and Roerick 's bizarre set- tings. The Piano Concerto by fellow Russian Rachmaninoff is contrastingly full of lyrical melodies. Often described as the greatest piano concerto ever written, the work is full of dialogue between orches- tra and soloist. The event starts at 8pm.
