The Soldier's Tale
A dramatic chamber performance of Stravinsky's 1918 masterpiece with narration and theatrical flair.
The Soldier's Tale brings a classic musical drama to life at the University of Louisville. This 1918 composition by Igor Stravinsky combines live chamber music with narration and theatrical staging to tell a Russian folktale about a soldier who makes a fateful bargain—trading his violin, representing his very soul, to the devil. The Derby City Chamber Music Festival presents this engaging production, featuring performers Dylon Crane as the Soldier, John Vessels as the Devil, and Brienne Wiltsey as the Princess.
This performance offers families an accessible introduction to classical music and storytelling in an intimate concert hall setting. The blend of orchestral music with dramatic elements and a clear narrative makes it engaging for older children and adults who enjoy theater and instrumental music. Tickets are priced at $40 per person. For questions or additional details, you can reach out to the organizers at derbycitychamberfest@gmail.com.
