ABOUT THE CONCERT
The musical soundscapes of two cultures collide in a program full of Spanish rhythms, folk songs, and dances imagined through the eyes of their French neighbors.
Love. Jealousy. Freedom. Highlights from Bizet’s opera share the story of the fiery Carmen, a woman determined to live life on her own terms…no matter the consequences.
Debussy had spent less than a day in Spain when he created the swirling colors of Ibéria. Ravel’s wildly popular Boléro was inspired by a Spanish dance form of the same name.
