Brott Music Festival | Hollywood & The Rite Of Spring

” golden age glamour meets musical revolution ”

Before there were lights, cameras, or CGI… there was The Rite of Spring. And before John Williams’ Star Wars and Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings, there was Korngold’s film music.

The Rite of Spring’s raw, ritualistic energy was so bold it sparked a riot at its premiere and still stuns over a century later. It is the secret heartbeat of Hollywood’s most epic soundtracks including Disney’s Fantasia.

Korngold’s lush, virtuosic Violin Concerto, performed by international Canadian sensation Kerson Leong, blends sweeping melodies and cinematic glamour.
