Inaugural Philly Arts Festival To Be An April In Paris (With Igor)

“Already funded with a $10 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, the initial festival is scheduled to run April 7 to May 1, 2011, centered on early-20th-century Parisian artistic life. [New executive director J. Edward] Cambron referred to the programming theme as ‘Stravinsky in Paris’ – this was a period when the composer wrote his great ballet scores – though a variety of figures from that period will be examined, as well as some of their 21st-century counterparts.”
