The Rite of Spring at 100 is made possible in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

and The William R.ARTS Kenan, 2 • CAROLINA PERFORMING 12/13Jr. Charitable Trust. Additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

DEAR FRIENDS On May 29,1913, Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes took to the stage in Paris to give the first performance of The Rite of Spring, choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky to a score by Igor Stravinsky, and set off a shock wave that is still being felt today. In the centennial year of this famously scandalous premiere – an epoch-making event in the arts and society alike – we are proud to present The Rite of Spring at 100 (Rite100), an unprecedented nine-month festival taking place as an essential part of our 12/13 season. This celebration will feature 12 new works, nine world premieres and two U.S. premieres by some of today’s groundbreaking artists, making Chapel Hill an arts destination unlike any other. The centennial celebration of the 1913 premiere of Le Sacre du printemps and its enduring legacy as a modern masterpiece has brought together these artists from across disciplines, genres and geographies. Composer Igor Stravinsky’s use of incongruous and asymmetrical rhythms that lacked traditional musical resolution caused the listener to become uncomfortable. This dissonance with its emphasis on rhythm instead of harmony, combined with Nicholas Roerich’s outrageous costumes and Vaslav Nijinsky’s “antiballet,” was shocking in its time and remains a hallmark of artistic innovation. This season features new and original works that reimagine The Rite of Spring, the idea and the ethos of the day. Stravinsky’s revolutionary use of phrasing and lack of resolution forced the listener to pay just a bit more attention, and it is also unsettling and disturbing. This keeps the music feeling new and lends itself to constant re-interpretation. Even if you’ve heard the work 100 times, the next time will still sound like the first! We present Rite 100 in partnership with The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s College of Arts and Sciences and Institute for the Arts and Humanities. Major funding for the initiative has been provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust. With our partners in the Department of Music and the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, we are supporting the creation of 14 new academic courses developed in conjunction with The Rite of Spring at 100 and two scholarly conferences in Chapel Hill and Moscow that will shed new light and renewed reflections on this seminal work. The Rite of Spring and its riotous history embed nothing less than a core belief of the modern world – our faith in innovation as an ideal of the arts and society – coupled with a troubling intuition that the price of innovation might be violence. In Rite 100, some of the greatest artists of our time and some of our most brilliant thinkers will address The Rite of Spring to recapture, reconsider, explore and challenge the notion that outmoded forms and habits must be smashed, that authentic feeling must continually be clawed back from polite convention and that nothing can be vital and significant unless it is perpetually made new. We look forward to celebrating the centennial of this iconic 20th-century masterwork with you – our artistic, academic and audience partners. Thank you for your continued support of the arts at Carolina. Sincerely,

Emil J. Kang Executive Director for the Arts Director, Carolina Performing Arts Professor of the Practice, Department of Music

what is

THE RITE of SPRING? “The Rite of Spring is one of the most important works in the history of music.” – Leonard Bernstein

“It took Stravinsky, in one bold and sudden gesture, to grab music painfully and brutally, and to blast it into a wholly new region from which it could never return.” – Peter Gutmann, Classical Notes

“…it might be the work of a madman.” – Giacomo Puccini

Vaslav Nijinsky

Le Sacre du printemps On a hot Paris evening in 1913, a riot broke out at the ballet. At the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, members of Serge Diaghilev’s legendary dance troupe, the Ballets Russes, stamped their feet and jumped to a wild orchestral score. Shaken by Igor Stravinsky’s unorthodox music and scandalized by Vaslav Nijinsky’s audacious choreography, audience members shouted out their protests, while others rose up in defense. Punches were thrown; the police were called. On its opening night, The Rite of Spring secured its place in history.

Serge Diaghilev & Igor Stravinsky

Ballets Russes dancers in The Rite of Spring costumes

The outraged spectators must have known they were witnessing something important: Stravinsky’s score inspired countless composers and quickly assumed its place as a canonic work in the orchestral repertoire. The Rite of Spring has been choreographed more than any other music of the past century. From its ethereal bassoon solo opening to the sacrificial finale – in which a young girl dances herself to death – The Rite of Spring has captured the imagination of artists and audiences for the last century. The Rite of Spring was both an end and a beginning: a farewell to the ballet tradition and the Romantic orchestral works of the 19th century, and the birth of the avant-garde movement in the 20th. It brought together the work of three great artists: composer Stravinsky, choreographer Nijinsky and visual artist and costume designer Nicholas Roerich. In re-interpreting archaic iconography and Russian folk traditions, the creators found an artistic language wholly modern, in step with a decade marked by the sinking of the Titanic and the horrors of World War I. Looking back after a century, The Rite of Spring appears more relevant than ever.

The Rite of Spring was significant not just as a riot-inspiring act of modernism, but also for its embrace of the interdisciplinary. Igor Stravinsky, Vaslav Nijinsky and Nicholas Roerich brought cutting-edge visuals and music together on a single stage. In the spirit of this cross-medium collaboration, Carolina Performing Arts and UNC-Chapel Hill will present a year-long centennial commemoration of The Rite of Spring, embracing all aspects of the multifaceted work. From September 2012 through May 2013, UNC’s campus will be home to performances, academic conferences and courses exploring the impact of The Rite and what the work means today. Carolina Performing Arts has commissioned 11 new works from important artists across the globe – choreographer Bill T. Jones and director Anne Bogart, puppeteer Basil Twist, composer Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, among others – who will reimagine The Rite, bringing a contemporary flavor to the 1913 masterpiece. The Rite of Spring at 100 will present international dance companies’ reinterpretations of the original ballet and a reconstruction of Nijinsky’s groundbreaking choreography by the Joffrey Ballet. The UNC campus is actively participating in the discussion of the impact of The Rite of Spring and its historical lineage through artistic residencies, masterclasses, interdisciplinary course offerings and two major academic conferences taking place in Chapel Hill and Moscow. The Rite of Spring at 100 celebrates the dawn of modernism through an exploration of artistic creation and scholarly dialogues that will foretell what awaits us in the future.

The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma “A musical caravan and a symbol of the connections between East and West” – Chicago Tribune

The highly acclaimed Silk Road Ensemble, featuring multiple Grammy Award-winner Yo-Yo Ma, will present a thrilling combination of world and classical music traditions. The concert program includes the world premiere of The Seasons, a piece by Uzbekistan’s Dmitri YanovYanovsky commissioned for The Rite of Spring at 100 by Carolina Performing Arts. The three major sections of The Seasons represent summer, autumn and winter, each inspired by one of the nine folk tunes Stravinsky used in composing The Rite of Spring. The sections are titled after poems by Nicholas Roerich, designer of the original costumes and set. Roerich, who is credited with the central creative vision behind The Rite of Spring, spent much of his life traveling through central Asia, a compelling reflection of the legacy of multicultural inspiration at the heart of The Silk Road Ensemble’s musical vision.

Compagnie Marie Chouinard Compagnie Marie Chouinard presents two of Chouinard’s most highly regarded works, pairing a new interpretation of Nijinsky’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun (1994) with The Rite of Spring (1993). The concentration of soloists is one of the most dynamic aspects of Chouinard’s version of “this hymn of life,” as she refers to the original The Rite of Spring, making Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, a solo set to Claude Debussy’s score, an ideal opening piece. Chouinard’s work explores the relationship of the body’s vital energy with space, creating “pathways toward freedom and compassion, where humor is possible and Eros omnipresent.”

PIERRELAURENT AIMARD, piano One of the most decorated pianists in contemporary music, Pierre-Laurent Aimard brings an exploration of Modernist synesthesia to The Rite of Spring at 100. Aimard will perform three pieces focused on the relationship of image and color to sound: Heinz Holliger’s Elis, the Symphonic Etudes of Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy’s Preludes Book II. These works embody the restless spirit of Stravinsky’s compositions and the Modernist desire to conceive of new and startling interpretations. Pierre-Laurent Aimard’s virtuoso abilities as a soloist will be on full display in this ambitious program. Memorial Hall will be one of only three U.S. stops on a tour that includes appearances at New York’s Hall and in Tokyo and Taipei. After his performance, Pierre-Laurent Aimard will lead a brief conversation with illustrations from the piano. The talk will focus on Claude Debussy’s exploration of color and sound within the context of the Modernist period.

Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company and SITI Company “...one of the most prominent and provocative American choreographers of his generation...” – The New York Times Bill T. Jones

A Meditation on The Rite of Spring (working title), a full-length collaborative work commissioned by Carolina Performing Arts, combines choreography from the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company with the ensemble-based theater work of SITI Company and Anne Bogart. This world premiere presents a deconstruction of the original score of The Rite of Spring, giving voice to author Jonah Lehrer’s claim that a central tenet of Stravinsky’s work is the realization that “the engine of music is conflict, not consonance.” The development of this work took place, in part, at UNC-Chapel Hill through a series of collaborative residencies hosted by Carolina Performing Arts. Bringing together these influential artists for the first time, this collaboration is a daring combination of original work from two of the most accomplished figures in the world of dance and theater.

Reassessing The Rite:

A CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE OCT 25 – Oct 28, 2012 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Rite 100 & the Academy As part of The Rite of Spring at 100, we are hosting two academic conferences, one in Chapel Hill and one in Moscow. Our conferences will use The Rite’s centennial as an occasion to rethink the foundations and relevance of Modernist aesthetics in contemporary times. The Chapel Hill conference is for individuals interested in learning about 20th-century music, the visual arts, dance and literature. Sessions will include discussions and lectures for both scholarly and general audiences. The conference will be free and open to the public. The primary goal of the conference is to rethink questions of violence and cross-cultural encounters in relation to a charged moment in Western music when Modernism emerged as a vibrant cultural force for the century. New York Times critic Richard Taruskin, premier scholar of Russian music history, will deliver a keynote speech, “Resisting The Rite.”
