SPRINGFIELD SYMPHONY: Ravel – A Theatrical Concert

Event details

French composer Maurice Ravel and his contemporaries Claude Debussy and George Gershwin come to life onstage in this comic and poignant theatrical concert created by Alice Wiley Pickett for actors, singers, and orchestra. Enter the deeply emotional and intensely creative world of Ravel, who lived during the rich explosion of arts and sciences in Paris in the first part of the 20th century, and experience the travails and triumphs of this iconoclastic artist in his rise to fame as one of France's most important composers. Through Ravel's own writings and the words of both his most beloved friends and his harshest critics—and through his revolutionary, wildly beautiful, and inventive music—the performance paints an impressionistic picture, at times whimsical and at other times tragic, of this enigmatic genius.
