Description

Let us paint you a tonal picture of La Belle Époque with the Impressionist works of the French Masters. The refined and subtle sonorities of Maurice Ravel‘s Petite Symphonie à cordes will transport you into a world of rhythms, colors and textures, as well as Albert Roussel‘s Sinfoniette, Op. 52

You’ll also enjoy the masterful interpretation of some of the most famous Gabriel Fauré & Maurice Ravel “mélodies” in new orchestral arrangements by François Vallières, interpreted by renowned Quebec baritone Jean-François Lapointe. The concert will be led under the direction of maestro Andrei Feher.
