Join us for a concert celebrating the sesquicentennial of Maurice Ravel's birth! Violinist Gabriel Richard and cellist Jesús Castro-Balbi present an inventive program that traces his far-reaching influence on chamber music from the early 20th century to today. At its heart is Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Cello, a work of radical clarity and contrapuntal innovation, composed in memory of Claude Debussy.

Violinist Gabriel Richard and cellist Jesús Castro-Balbi pair Ravel's masterwork with music by Béla Bartók, Jean Martinon, Augusta Read Thomas, and Alice Hong, each reflecting a different facet of the evolving modernist and postmodern chamber idiom.
