Harmonies Du Soir welcomes you to explore the refined soundscape of French music, with Ravel’s artistry at the core. This chamber music festival, marking the close of the year, is a thoughtful nod to the intricate interplay of tradition and modernity.
Expect whispers of elegant, fleeting melodies alongside daring, avant-garde gestures — an journey through the shifts in French musical identity. The program navigates a spectrum of moods and textures, honoring both the old masters and contemporary voices who have left their mark on the genre, in ways both subtle and bold.
