AN AMERICAN IN PARIS
Nuanced and elegant Debussy, Ravel and Satie scores are set against the bold flavors of Gershwin and Antheil’s music in this delectable pairing of French and American treats. From the intoxicating tranquility of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun to the passionate pulse of Ravel’s Bolero, these works are sure to tantalize.

BEST OF BACH
The energizing sound of Bach’s music percolates through this lively program—a tall cup of counterpoint topped with an aria from his tasty “Coffee Cantata,” followed by a selection from his stirring cantata “Wake Up.” “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” adds a note of sweetness.
