Igor Stravinsky

I Decided to do my final project on the biography of Igor Stravisnky.
I thought I would share a little bit of information about him growing up:

Igor Fedorovich Stravinsky was born June 17, 1882 in Oranienbaum, Russia. 

He spent most of his childhood growing up in St. Petersburg.

The well-known composer refers to himself as "inventor of music." 

 His father, Fyodor Stravinsky, was a famous singer in the Imperial Opera.  

 Stravinsky decided to enroll at the University of Saint Petersburg in 1901 to study law.

 He spent his summer with a Russian composer in Germany.

That composer, Rimsky-Korsakov convinced him to start composing over law school.

He didn't end up finishing law school.

Stravinsky Later married his first cousin, Yekaterina Gabrielovna Nossenko.

 They wed on the 23rd of January in 1906.

 They had two children yodor and Ludmila, who were born in 1907 and 1908.
