L’Historie du Soldat performance at the Glade Arts Foundation

Glade Arts Foundation held the second concert and performance of its 2019 Chamber Series, L’Historie du Soldat, on Friday, February 22 at 2000 Woodlands Parkway in The Woodlands.

L’Historie du Soldat, or A Soldiers Tale, in the words of Igor Stravinsky is “to be read, played and danced in two parts.” The theatrical performance was a first for The Woodlands, including a collaboration of the chamber orchestra, actors and dancers in a tale of good versus evil, temptation and a twisted ending.

L’Historie du Soldat is based on a Russian folk tale The Runaway Solider and the Devil from the collection of Alexander Afansyey Russian folk tales and premiered on September 28, 1918 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Famous Composer, Pianist and Conductor Igor Stravinsky styled compositions for the ballet and orchestral works Firebird, Rite of Spring, and Petruska.
