Joyeux anniversaire, Monsieur Ravel!
The 8th Philharmonic Concert celebrates French composer Maurice Ravel's 150th birthday with his Piano Concerto in G major and the Boléro. Ravel's concerto is a virtuoso piece, while the Boléro evolves from a simple theme into an overwhelming sonic feast. The concert also features Schoenberg's Suite for "Pelléas et Mélisande," a work of overflowing expressivity. A pre-concert introduction starts 30 minutes prior in the Glocke's "Kleiner Saal."
