The Rite of Spring: the sound of the earth is the fascinating title of this concert evoking the primordial forces of the nature-earth. The festival will celebrate this milestone of the millennium that Igor Stravinsky wrote in 1913 which still has such a powerful influence today. Vassily Primakov & Natalia Lavrova will perform a piano four hands version of The Rite of Spring along with music by Mussorgsky and Saint-Saëns.
We invite the audience to arrive at 4:00pm to visit the garden and enjoy the beauty of the natural landscape.
The concert is a 5:00pm outdoors on the main lawn of the Landcraft Garden. You will find chairs on the lawn to listen to the concert. It is highly recommended to bring a hat to cover yourself from the sun while waiting for the sunset and to enjoy listening to the music.
A tasting menu with several bite-sized dishes immediately after the concert will be offered to all concert attendees.
The tasting menu is inspired by the Russian culinary degustation with a focus to the flavors of the earth and culinary art: Whole Smoked Blue Fish Filet, Picked Beets Red Cabbage and Horseradish, Rye Dark Bread, Fresh local Sweet Farm Cheese, Local Farm Butter, Russian salad made of cooked diced potatoes, carrots, string beans in a homemade mayonnaise.
