April in Paris, Circa 1926

Step into the chic salons and sun-drenched gardens of 1920s Paris, where charm, wit, and elegance flowed as freely as champagne. In this golden age of creativity, French composers like Ravel and Poulenc infused classical tradition with the fresh rhythms of jazz, folk, and café culture, crafting chamber music that shimmered with color and clarity. This program features Martinu’s playful La revue de cuisine alongside gems by Debussy, Franck, Ravel, Poulenc, and more.
