The concert will feature 19 world-renowned artists, including the daughter of the co-founder of Music in May, David Kaun. Abigail Kaun will narrate a newly abridged text to accompany Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale, which blends musical genres performed by 7 instrumentalists and spoken word, telling the story of a battle-worn soldier who bargains with the Devil, surrendering his violin for a magical book. Saturday also features a new work, 7 Dances, by Brian Raphael Nabors and a hair-raising duo for flute and percussion by Payton MacDonald.
