About This Event
The Boulder Phil is thrilled to feature Alessio Bax performing the ever-popular Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, renowned for its supremely beautiful second movement. The program continues with Stravinsky’s "Petrushka," a Russian classic bustling with energy, orchestral color, and rhythmic complexity. As one of the trio of ballets that cemented Stravinsky's reputation as a seminal 20th-century composer, "Petrushka" showcases his distinctive style and voice. The concert opens with Anna Clyne's work inspired by the Edinburgh Festival, capturing a 21st-century festival's vibrant energy and festive atmosphere, much like Stravinsky's depiction of the Shrovetide Fair.
