French Splendor: Ravel, Debussy, and More
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra plays an evening of French music on Thursday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Cellist Zuill Bailey takes the solo part, and tickets are available online.
The program opens up Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, Dutilleux's cello concerto A whole distant world..., and Marc-André Dalbavie's Color. Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé closes things out in sun-drenched orchestral splendor. The Dutilleux has been a lifelong passion for Zuill Bailey.
A 30-minute pre-concert talk starts one hour before the performance, with insight into the music and the composers' inspiration. Seating for the talk is general admission in Orchestra Hall, so you can try a different spot than your ticket. This is part of the PVS Classical series.
The concert is also streamed online on Saturday, November 7, at 8 p.m. ET.
