Works of Maurice Ravel with concert pianist Chengcheng Yao, marking 150 years since the composer's birth
About this Event

The piano music of Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) is cherished worldwide for its translucent textures, colorful harmonies, and rich impressionistic qualities. Celebrating 150 years since the birth of this French master, acclaimed concert pianist Chengcheng Yao presents an all-Ravel program featuring both favorite classics and hidden gems. Included are the enchanting dance suite Valses nobles et sentimentales (1911) and the monumental masterpiece Gaspard de la nuit (1908)—whose breathtaking final movement stands as one of the most technically demanding works in the piano repertoire. Join us for an unforgettable evening of sublime artistry in the warm, intimate acoustics of Emmanuel Church.

  • Chengcheng Yao, piano

Note: A complimentary pre-concert welcome reception begins at 5:30 p.m. Please join us!

About the venue

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave's warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.

In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
