(dramatic music) (logo whooshing) (bright music) - Welcome to "In Concert with CMS."

I'm Kristen Lee.

Today we start off the program with music by John Corigliano and William Bolcom, two of the most prolific American composers of our time.

These compelling performances by the Chamber Music Society's brilliant artists capture the sincerity and creativity of American classical music.

Following these works, we have Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," adapted for piano, four hands.

When the original orchestral version premiered in 1913 in Paris, it caused chaos and riots from the audience.

Over a century later, it is regarded as one of the great works for orchestra, programmed regularly and beloved by audiences all around the world.

Michael Stephen Brown and Orion Weiss turn their pianos into an orchestra of their own in this fiery and gripping performance.
