March 16 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$17
Come meet us at Le boeuf sur le toit for an effervescent, bubbly-fueled, bohemian night (or afternoon!) out… C’est les années folles à Paris, friends – the crazy years in Paris – and we’ll be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Milhaud and his Les Six pals, Picasso, Diaghilev, Satie, Hemingway, Coco Chanel, Cole Porter and Josephine Baker, just to name a few of the regulars who once played, sang, danced and reveled into the wee hours at this celebrated cabaret-bar.
Peek around the corner, and you just might catch a glimpse of our beloved Ravel, lamenting his 5-time-losing-streak at the Prix de Rome competition… Our visit to this deliciously dizzying world will feature his loss-defying-brilliance as heard in the Sonata No. 2 for violin and piano, the Ma mère l’Oye suite for four hands, the brilliant Jeux d’eau, and his Histoires naturelles song-cycle.
Featuring:
Marie Bérard, violin; Elina Kelebeev, piano; Andrea Ludwig, mezzo soprano (OCMS Artist-in-Residence); Maeve Palmer, soprano; Inna Perkis, piano; Boris Zarankin, piano
Highlights:
Selected mélodies by Debussy, Poulenc, Milhaud, Satie, and Ravel Sonata for violin and piano
