| Abstract | Stravinsky was born in 1882 in Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg, Russia, and studied composition with Rimsky-Korsakov. He won world-wide recognition with works commissioned by Diaghilev, including Firebird, Petroushka, and the sensational Le Sacre de Printemps. He left Russia and for many years lived in France and Switzerland, later moving to the United States, where he now resides. Among his many compositions are his opera The Rake's Progress, the oratorio Oedipus Rex, Persephone, Symphony of Psalms, Threni, Symphony in C, Symphony in 3 Movements, and works for ballet introduced by Balanchine, which include Orpheus, Apollon Musagete, Baiser de la Fee, and Agon. |
