Steven Stucky, Radical Light
Jean Sibelius, Symphony No. 7
Steven Stucky, “Elegy” from August 4, 1964
(West Coast premiere)
Igor Stravinsky, The Firebird Suite
(1919 version)

Stravinsky's music was radical in its day, yet now his Firebird is a concert hall favorite that you can experience alongside the work of a modern-day Stravinksy, Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Stucky. Joana conducts Stucky's Radical Light—paired here with a Sibelius symphony which inspired it—plus a work based on events of a single day which altered both the Presidency of LBJ and American history.
