Ravel’s Mother Goose

Pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, already “a deft and expressive soloist,” (The Guardian) makes her DSO debut with a concerto Mozart likely premiered himself. The program continues with a piece Ibert wrote for Mozart’s birthday and Villa-Lobos exploring the possibilities of Mozart’s themes through his Sinfonietta. Spinning stories into exquisite sounds, Ravel brings out the electric drama of fairy tales in Ma mère l'oye (Mother Goose).
