Maurice Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin pays homage to the stylings of bygone French keyboard music – each movement taking the form of a traditional Baroque dance, and dedicated to friends of the composer who had died fighting in World War I.

The Ancient Greeks believed that the flute was the oldest of all musical instruments, created by the god Pan himself. Debussy’s retelling of that myth is at the heart of this ravishing recital from the Orchestra’s flautist Helen Wilson: an evening of magical melody and wondrous new sounds.
