Devant l'Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux

Igor Stravinsky lived in Clarens in the early twentieth century: it was there that he composed most of “The Rite of Spring” (1912-1913), the work that caused a scandal in Paris before revolutionising twentieth-century music. His statue stands in front of the Auditorium Stravinski, the great Montreux concert hall inaugurated in 1993 and the heart of the Montreux Jazz Festival, which bears his name in tribute to those creative years spent on the Riviera. The statue, the work of Russian sculptors Nikolai Kuznetsov and Natalie Plouromskoya, depicts him in profile.
