“The
French
Connection”
The
Moores
Piano
Faculty
invite
you
to
an
exciting
journey
through
time
and
style
in
a
program
of
French
composers.
The
repertoire
features
“hidden
treasures”
by
Chabrier,
Chaminade
and
Tailleferre
alongside
all-time
favorites
such
as
Ravel’s
“La
Valse”
and
Dukas’
“Sorcerer’s
Apprentice.”
You
will
experience
the
intimacy
of
solo
piano;
the
grandeur
of
8
hands
on
two
pianos;
and
all
the
sonorities
in
between.
Although
Polish
by
birth,
Chopin
lived
most
of
his
adult
life
in
Paris.
He
became
a
major
influence
on
future
generations
of
French
composers.
Since
this
concert
falls
on
Chopin’s
Birthday
(February
22nd,
1810)
-
how
could
we
resist
including
a
few
pieces
by
this
iconic
master?
We
welcome
you
to
join
us
in
a
unique
exploration
of
the
many
connections
among
these
works
and
their
composers.
