SUMMARY:VSO at the Flynn: Rite of Spring
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nVSO’s 2026/27 season closes with a bold program of reinvention and discovery. Maurice Ravel’s famed Boléro\, last performed by the VSO 40 years ago\, transforms a simple Spanish dance into a hypnotic\, driving crescendo. The U.S. premiere of a trumpet concerto by Danny Elfman—featuring the principal trumpet of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal —brings a celebrated film composer’s music to the concert stage. Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring\, riotous and revolutionary\, crowns this electrifying finale.  \nThe concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is preceded at 6:30 p.m. by Musically Speaking\, a free pre-concert discussion that provides entertaining insight into the evening’s program. \nAndrew Crust\, conductor\nPaul Merkelo\, trumpet \n  \n \n              Paul Merkelo \n  \nProgram \nMaurice Ravel – Boléro \nDanny Elfman – Trumpet Concerto \nIgor Stravinsky/McPhee – The Rite of Spring \n  \n
