The Battle on the Ice
Apr 10-11, 2010 – Sat 7:30 pm, Sun 7:30 pm – Pre-concert lecture begins at 6:30 pm
A winter in Russia is a difficult time to enjoy, but here are two examples of composers creating pictures in music to match the bleak landscape and cold temperatures. The Alexander Nevsky Cantata includes the Battle on the Ice scene made famous in Eisenstein’s film masterpiece. Prior to the performance, an extended pre-concert lecture will be held with Conductor Kershaw and KUOW host and ASO cellist Dave Beck where they will focus on both the music and the film. An edited version of the film will be shown during the lecture.
