SUMMARY:Runway Rhythms featuring Riverdale Chamber Music: Revolution and Freedom Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful concert exploring the role of music in times of revolution.

Written in the wake of WWI and the Russian Revolution\, Igor Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale offers a profound exploration of modern themes: the erosion of individual identity and the enticing\, yet often costly\, pursuit of material gain over personal freedom. Enjoy refreshments and meet the musicians after the performance. Register in advance to secure your spot! Walk-in spaces will be available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Includes museum admission.
