Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring ballet score was an experiment in tonality, rhythm, stress, and dissonance in the 20th century. And now, more than one hundred years later, the Russian's masterful orchestral work has been resurrected. Giving it new life are Frost School of Music alumnas Ksenija Komljenović and Liana Pailodze Harron. The soul sisters have created a group called Vesna Duo, whose new recording of The Rite of Spring, played on nothing but piano and marimba, is up for a GRAMMY® nomination consideration in the category of Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance.
