Elizabeth Ogonek's Sleep & Unremembrance translates Wislawa Szymborska's playful words into a musical patchwork of memories, images, and emotions. Then, violin star Leila Josefowicz joins the Orchestra and Esa-Pekka Salonen to perform Igor Stravinsky's dazzling Violin Concerto. The program concludes with an eternal favorite, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, a work so provocative that it famously incited the Parisian audience to riot at its premiere.
