LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET
US Premiere
The period music movement has now extended well into the early 20th century, as intrepid groups re-examine the late world of gut strings. This intimate union of Ravel and Rilke invites us into the Paris of 1903, when two masterpieces were written just miles away at the same moment of La Belle Époque.
Rainer Maria Rilke’s famous correspondence with aspiring poet, Franz Kappus was re-examined in 2020, when all of Kappus’ letters to Rilke were unexpectedly found. Rilke’s mentorship is mirrored by Debussy’s influence on Ravel, presenting four artists intertwined in a unique union of music and text. Celebrating the 150th anniversaries of both Ravel and Rilke.
