Minnesota Orchestra - Sondergard Conducts Stravinskys Firebird

The Minnesota Orchestra performs Stravinsky's Firebird, led by guest conductor Thomas Søndergård. This program balances the dramatic narrative of Stravinsky’s ballet suite with another 20th-century work, Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring soloist Stephen Hough. It's a chance to hear a well-known orchestral showpiece alongside a more introspective, yet equally compelling, piano concerto. Sondergard Conducts Stravinsky’s Firebird takes place at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis on Friday, September 25, 2026. The venue is known for its acoustics, making it a good setting for this kind of classical program. Listeners interested in modern classical music and strong orchestral performances will likely find this a worthwhile evening.
