ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel were mutual admirers and rivals who resided on opposite sides of the early 20th-century French musical spectrum. Debussy, the dreamy symbolist, conjured mesmerizing sonic landscapes, while Ravel, the glittering perfectionist, explored kaleidoscopically colorful musical worlds.

These brilliant young musicians will collaborate in four of the most beguiling works of the French chamber repertoire.
