The latest entry in Carolina Performing Arts' "The Rite of Spring at One Hundred" series is particularly intriguing: "RADHE RADHE -- The Rites of Holi," an interpretation of the Stravinsky masterwork as inspired by the Holi Festival in India and various associated Hindu myths and legends. Check the preview in Friday's paper for more, as explained by pianist/composer Vijay Iyer.

I wonder if there's still time for the Carolina Performing Arts braintrust to make any late additions to the lineup of its "Rite of Spring" centennial series -- because surely they're going to want to work this in.

Ya think?

A lot of years, it can be difficult to figure out what we should focus on in the annual fall arts preview. But not this year. Carolina Performing Arts is putting on a multi-faceted and incredibly ambitious program, "The Rite of Spring at One Hundred," premiering various works inspired by the centennial anniversary of the fabled (and oft-covered) Stravinsky masterpiece.

The series commences in late September and runs into next spring. For particulars, see the story in Sunday's paper.
