Its raw, rhythmic intensity caused a riot at its 1913 premiere. The Rite of Spring, Igor Stravinsky’s ballet marvel, sent shockwaves through the course of 20th century music.
Originally composed for ballet, Circa has boldly created the world’s first circus interpretation of The Rite of Spring, combining the power of the music with the thrill of acrobats.
As a leader in contemporary circus, Circa’s Rite has captivated audiences globally, with performances in cities including Paris, Barcelona, and New York.
Debussy was also in search of new groundbreaking orchestral sounds, as he composed his alluring Prélude à ”L’après-midi d’un faune.” Under the baton of Umberto Clerici, this mythic dream is coloured with hazy impressionist hues.
Inspired by ancient Gregorian chants, Respighi’s Concerto Gregoriano is an unsung beauty of the violin repertoire, a moment of divine contemplation under the bow of QSO’s Artist in Residence, violinist Kristian Winther.
