Great Event for Kids: The Phoenix Symphony Performs at the Madison Center For The Arts
Experience A Soldier’s Story & A Fiddler’s Tale in a Unique Musical Journey
On Saturday, February 8, 2025, music lovers and families alike will have the chance to experience two legendary compositions in a powerful live performance as Igor Stravinsky’s L’histoire du soldat (A Soldier’s Story) and Wynton Marsalis’ A Fiddler’s Tale take center stage. This event will bring to life these masterful works, blending storytelling, music, and movement in an immersive performance.
Stravinsky’s L’histoire du soldat, a morality play for narrator, dancers, and orchestra, remains one of the most celebrated works of the 20th century. The timeless tale of a soldier’s deal with the devil unfolds through a striking fusion of music and drama, making it a compelling experience for audiences of all ages.
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and jazz icon Wynton Marsalis reimagined this classic with A Fiddler’s Tale, offering a fresh perspective infused with jazz elements. His adaptation brings a contemporary voice to the narrative, creating a dynamic contrast with Stravinsky’s original.
This event is perfect for families, with engaging storytelling and lively music that captivates young audiences. Children ages 5–17 will find the performances both entertaining and educational, as insights will be shared from the stage, enriching the experience.
