We usher in spring with some of Russia and France’s greatest composers. First, we’ll hear a truly fun work from Stravinsky, followed by dream-like and romantic pieces from Debussy and Ravel, and a delightful finale from Poulenc. JUNO-winning Canadian pianist Philip Chiu, “a pianist-painter who turns every musical idea into a beautiful array of colors,” (La Presse), delights audiences with his infectious love of music. This concert will carry you away to a place of fantasy, romance, and dappled sunlight.
