The French, known for their rebellion and individuality since the time of Rameau, produced some of Classical music’s most unique voices, such as Berlioz and Debussy, both featured on this program. The concert’s main course is Fauré’s Piano Quartet. Fauré’s bold experiments with tonality foreshadowed the Impressionist music of Debussy and Ravel. The concert also includes French art songs by Bizet, Debussy, and others.
