That Fabulous French Flair

Featuring soprano Adrienne Danrich

French music has a certain je ne sais quoi, an intriguing blend of elegance, emotion and pageantry that characterizes the national style. Revel in a program of beloved French symphonic classics, from the energetic Romanticism of Hector Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture to the evocative tone-painting of La Mer (The Sea) by Impressionist composer Claude Debussy; the fluid sensuality of Maurice Ravel’s Scheherazade (featuring soprano Adrienne Danrich); the orchestral wizardry of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas; and the riveting drama of Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Bacchanale” from the opera Samson et Dalilah.
