One of the most important and influential composers of the 20th Century, this week the music department will be filled with the sublime, exciting and often challenging sounds of Russian composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971).


You will hear music spanning the entirety of Stravinsky's composing life; ballets, symphonies, operas, the list goes on.
