Profile

Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer and musical revolutionary. Born in 1882, he was naturalized French and later American. Stravinsky was infamous for audacious rhythms and stylistic diversity, blending traditional and modern forms. Three ballets brought him international fame: The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring - the last of which provoked an actual riot in a Paris theatre.
