Singer

The final concert will open with Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, with the Festival Chorus, and soloists Silvie Jensen, mezzo-soprano; Angela Moser, soprano, and Anders Froehlich, baritone. Fauré wrote of the 1888 work, “Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.”

After intermission, vocal soloist mezzo-soprano Silvie Jensen will sing Ravel’s rich and voluptuous Shéhérazade song cycle. The Festival Chorus will join the orchestra in Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2, a choreographic symphony for orchestra and wordless chorus, sometimes described as Ravel’s orchestral masterpiece.

Ravel: The Attraction of Modernism, featuring Susan Waterfall

Preston Hall

From the composer who created “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Ariane & Bluebeard is a fascinating symbolist examination of the psychology of violence and the obstacles of self-liberation. Dukas’ masterpiece is a follow up to our production of Pelléas & Mélisande and can be considered a prequel to that opera.
