Join us for an unforgettable evening with "The Quartets of Debussy & Ravel" at the Cass Community United Methodist Church, located at 3901 Cass Ave, Detroit, MI 48201, on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 7:00 pm. This chamber recital promises a journey through the passionate and colorful landscapes of French masters Debussy and Ravel's only string quartets. Written a decade apart, these quartets offer a fascinating comparison—Debussy's composition breaks free from musical traditions, while Ravel's work thrives within them, finding room to surprise and delight.

The performance will feature an ensemble of talented musicians, including Rachel Harding Klaus and Jing Zhang on violin, Mike Chen on viola, and David LeDoux on cello. Each artist brings a unique background and expertise to the stage, promising a rendition of these masterpieces that is as dynamic as it is intimate.

This event is a must-attend for chamber music enthusiasts and those looking to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of French classical music. Chamber Recitals are currently available to 2023-2024 subscribers. To add this event to your subscription, please contact the Box Office at 313.576.5111.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the depth and beauty of Debussy and Ravel's quartets, performed by a quartet of distinguished musicians in the heart of Detroit.

The Quartets Of Debussy & Ravel

Cass Community United Methodist Church

DSO violinist Heidi Han always wanted to play “Death and the Maiden.” Schubert’s Quartet is a monumental piece reflecting emotions of fate. George Crumb’s Black Angels, composed for electric string quartet and subtitled “Thirteen Images from the Dark Land,” is similarly driven. Like Schubert’s momentous opus, Crumb hears powerful music in the irresistible pull of destiny.
