Concert II:

Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) is a timeless fable of temptation, loss, and wit—where a soldier trades his fiddle to the devil in a tale told through sharp rhythms, vivid characters, and a lean, colorful ensemble. Blending music, narration, and theater, this inventive work captures both the humor and the haunting edge of a story as old as time.
