Debussy and Liszt

Name: Debussy and Liszt
Start: 2025-03-28T19:30:00
Location: Touhill Performing Arts Center

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

More details

Music from poetry, and the poetry of music. Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun captures the hazy atmosphere of Mallarmé’s poem. Liszt’s Les preludes whips the orchestra into a frenzy to capture the four elements in dramatic interplay. Michael Spyres brings a chameleon-like voice to two passionate song cycles: Mahler’s lovelorn Songs of a Wayfarer and Britten’s hallucinatory Les Illuminations.
