Longmont Symphony Orchestra Concert

The Longmont Symphony Orchestra will perform Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat”

The celebrated 1918 theater piece features a mix of jazz, tango rhythms, marches, a
waltz and chorale. A soldier on leave from the army trades his violin for a magic book
that can tell the future but he soon discovers that he has made a deal with the devil.
