Written on a walking holiday in the countryside, its unstoppable stream of melody immediately evokes freedom, natural beauty and high spirits.

Voyagers: Schubert, Ravel, Hankash, Weill

Smith Square Hall

In Ravel’s ‘Trois Poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé’, a delicate, ethereal song is woven from the words of the Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé. Stravinsky’s ‘Three Japanese Lyrics’ is a musical haiku, written just before The Rite of Spring. Delage’s ‘Quatre poèmes hindous’ (Four Hindu Poems) is one of the first Western classical works inspired by Indian culture, filtered through a French, impressionistic lens. Together, these works form a tapestry that is drawn together by our friend and long-term collaborator, Jack Sheen.

Chamber Music: Crider Sings Ravel + Copland

New World Center

“Experience an afternoon of sensual color, lyrical beauty, and a world premiere as we welcome back acclaimed soprano Nicole Cabell following her celebrated appearance last season in Maurice Delage’s mesmerizing Quatre poèmes hindous. The program journeys from the intimate reflection of a new Chamber Music Rochester commission for solo violin by Clarice Assad and the sparkling elegance of Maurice Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro to the profound warmth and autumnal richness of Johannes Brahms’s beloved Clarinet Quintet.”
