**Igor Stravinsky**

The Clinton Symphony Orchestra opens its 57th season with musical selections that highlight the ethnic and national origins of the composers' homelands. From Bela Bartok comes the Roumanian Dances, based on his scholarship of his country's native song materials. Swiss composer Ernest Bloch delves into the past to give us a modern rendition of the concerto grosso in the form of his Concerto Grosso No. 1 for Strings and Piano. But the treat for the audience is the Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major, Op 1 of Igor Stravinsky.

Although rarely performed, Stravinsky kept the symphony in his catalog as a favored composition despite its youthful indulgences. In the symphony, Stravinsky, under the guidance of his mentor Nickolai Rimsky-Korsakov, synthesized the Grand Russian Romantic Tradition up to his day. The work sums up the past, and, at the same time, gives passionate voice to the revolution Stravinsky was to spring on the world a few short years later.
