The Firebird
From: 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM, February 22, 2026 | Century II
From Wagner’s ghostly ship to the fiery brilliance of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, this concert soars through myth, magic, and the natural world. Wagner’s electrifying Overture to The Flying Dutchman tells the storm-tossed tale of a ghostly ship cursed to sail the seas for eternity. We then embark in flight with the World Premiere of Daniel Perttu’s violin concerto Stealing From Birds. Inspired by the beauty of bird songs, WSO Concertmaster Holly Mulcahy brings this concerto to life for the very first time!
Finally, Stravinsky’s beloved Firebird Suite [1945] brings the night to a dazzling close, weaving Russian folklore and brilliant orchestration into a triumphant blaze of sound. From windswept legends to fiery rebirth, this concert ignites the imagination
