Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale retold by Art of Time with poetry by Titilope Sonuga.

Few works in the early twentieth-century repertoire are as inventive....or as enigmatic as Igor Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat. Written in 1918 as a small-scale theatrical piece for narrator, dancers and a septet of instruments, it tells the timeless tale of a soldier who trades his violin to the devil in exchange for wealth and knowledge. Now, more than a century later, the story is being revisited through a contemporary lens. Toronto’s Art of Time Ensemble, under the direction of founder Andrew Burashko, marks Black History Month with the release of Stravinsky: The Soldier’s Tale Retold, a recording that places a newly commissioned text at the heart of Stravinsky’s original score. Written by Edmonton-based, Nigerian-born poet Titilope Shonuga, The Soldier’s Tale Retold honours the structure and characters of the original while reframing the narrative through a contemporary perspective—one that resonates with the themes of identity, history and storytelling at the centre of February’s celebration of Black voices and contributions. Burashko; pianist, conductor, and one of Canada’s most imaginative artistic directors—has built a career on projects that cross genres and challenge traditional concert formats. With Art of Time, he has commissioned hundreds of new works and collaborated with artists from across the literary, jazz, dance and classical worlds.
