Was 2024 like Allegro ma non troppo? D major or D minor? With timpani and trumpets or homogeneous strings? How will 2025 be? Sempre stringendo or più piano?

Grażyna Bacewicz, a Polish violinist, pianist, and composer, debuted at the Grand Concert. Born in 1909, she studied music and philosophy, finding a mentor in Nadia Boulanger.

Debussy's orchestral triptych features the English horn, shimmering brass and woodwinds, and a women's chorus.
