Martin James Bartlett: Couperin & Ravel

Concert

Considered one of Ravel’s greatest works, Le Tombeau de Couperin will be at the heart of this concert. Each piece in this suite is a tribute to one of the composer’s friends, a way for him to celebrate their lives and music. You will also hear Debussy’s Arabesque No. 1 in E minor, telling a story full of nuances and colours. Additionally, Schumann’s “Kinderszenen” will express the innocence and imagination of childhood. A must-attend event for piano enthusiasts!
