In this concert on Friday evening we are back in the familiar surroundings of the barn in Halloy and we pay a special tribute to Fauré.
Fauré was a master in composing moving melodies and songs. Many of his students have dedicated their short works to him. In the first part of this concert you will hear a special suite of these gems; the cello, piano, violin and soprano take turns singing their hearts out!
The last work of this evening is also a tribute to Fauré! Ravel dedicated his only string quartet to his good friend and teacher at the Paris Conservatory.
A special concert not to be missed!
