Megan-Geoffrey PrinsMystical Encounters - Ravel, Mozart, and Rachmaninov
Megan-Geoffrey Prins presents “Mystical Encounters” a captivating program featuring the enchanting compositions of Maurice Ravel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Sergei Rachmaninov. The program begins with Ravel's hauntingly beautiful "Gaspard de la Nuit," a mesmerizing exploration of mystical and imaginative worlds through three evocative movements: "Ondine," "Le Gibet," and "Scarbo." Ravel's atmospheric and mysterious piano writing sets the stage for an enchanting musical experience.
Following Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit," the program transitions to Mozart's delightful "Twelve Variations on 'Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman'" (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations). Mozart's inventive variations on this well-known melody showcase his genius and offer a charming contrast to the mystical atmosphere created by Ravel.
Concluding the program is Rachmaninov's "Variations on a Theme of Corelli," Op. 42. Rachmaninov's lush harmonies and virtuosic piano techniques take center stage as he explores and transforms Arcangelo Corelli's theme through a series of expressive variations.
