Stravinsky's Russian-American Odyssey
For much of his career, Stravinsky held Russia, his native country, in contempt, turning to a variety of compositional styles associated with the West. But is it possible to examine his musical identity separate from his cultural heritage? To coincide with the New York Philharmonic's Russian Stravinsky Festival (April 21–May 8), this multimedia program will feature performances, recorded musical excerpts, short lectures, and a conversation with conductor Valery Gergiev about his relationship with Stravinsky's music. This program is part of the New York Philharmonic's Insights Series.

11 AM–12:30 PM: A Conversation with Valery Gergiev: How Russian Was Stravinsky?

1:30–5:30 PM: Stravinsky and the Psychology of Exile
