Chamber Music | OC

This program celebrates the evocative power of French music for strings, flute, and harp. At its heart is the rarely heard Jean Cras, a naval officer-composer whose music lends modern color to Romanticism. Alongside him: Saint-Saëns’ elegance, Ravel’s refined sensuality, and Debussy — who bristled at the label Impressionist — offering sound worlds more exacting, expressive, and immersive than any Monet fridge magnet.

Complimentary wine reception with the artists to follow. More info on our venues and parking here.
