French Finale: Boléro

Philip Chiu, piano

Debussy: La mer
Poulenc: Piano Concerto
Poulenc: Les Animaux modèles

Ravel: Boléro

Music Director Andrei Feher ends the season with a flurry of French music. From Debussy’s rich and evocative depiction of the sea and its moods in La mer to Poulenc’s playful fairy-tale dance score of Les Animaux modèles, and his tuneful and energetic Piano Concerto with Canadian pianist Philip Chiu, the program builds to the ultimate finale: Ravel’s Boléro, his most famous composition.
