Tale of the Firebird – Concerto for Violin, Fire & Acrobatic Orchestra

The Freestyle Orchestra • Professional company

60 minutes•Central
Classical precision meets circus adrenaline in this genre-bending re-imagining of a violin concerto composed by Chloé Charody for The Freestyle Orchestra. Each musician doubles as an acrobat, uniting classical mastery, theatrical storytelling and breathtaking circus – where virtuosity literally takes flight. The whimsical, fairytale-like narrative traces the legend of the Phoenix – a mythical creature with the ability to be reborn through flame. This story of resistance and renewal underpins pertinent global themes, erupting with one of humanity's greatest weapons against oppression: hope.
