Join the Philharmonia Chamber Players for an enchanting evening of music by Turina and Ravel at the Royal Festival Hall on Thursday, 14 November 2024, at 6pm. This special small-ensemble performance is a unique opportunity to experience the mastery of four Philharmonia string players as they present a free concert featuring Turina's "La oración del torero" and Ravel's celebrated "String Quartet."

The event showcases the talents of Rebecca Chan and David López Ibáñez on violin, Sylvain Séailles on viola, and Ella Rundle on cello. Together, they will navigate the lively, lyrical, and contemplative passages of Ravel's masterpiece, a work that demands great technical and expressive skill. This performance is an excellent introduction to French music for newcomers, highlighting the beauty and complexity of the chamber music repertoire.

In addition to Ravel's work, the audience will be treated to Turina's "The Bullfighter’s Prayer," a piece inspired by the composer's experience at a bullfighting event in Madrid. This composition blends the influences of Debussy and Ravel with a distinctive Spanish, folkloric flavor, offering a vivid musical portrayal of a toreador's prayer before entering the arena.

This event is free, but tickets are required. Priority booking is available for Friends of the Philharmonia, with general booking opening at 10am on Tuesday, 23 April. The performance is expected to run for approximately 35 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 7 and up. Free printed programmes will be available at the venue to enhance your concert experience.

Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the exquisite sounds of Turina and Ravel, performed by the talented Philharmonia Chamber Players. Reserve your tickets now and prepare for an unforgettable musical journey at the Royal Festival Hall.
