French Splendor: Ravel, Debussy, and More
Detroit Symphony Orchestra plays a French program on Saturday, November 7, at 8 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Debussy, Dutilleux, and Ravel are on the bill with cellist Zuill Bailey in the Dutilleux. Tickets $20.95–$114.66.
Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun opens the night in hazy summer colors, followed by Henri Dutilleux’s visionary cello concerto A whole distant world... with Zuill Bailey as soloist. Marc‑André Dalbavie’s In Color leads into the sun‑lit sweep of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé.
Arrive early: the PVS Classical series offers a 30‑minute pre‑concert talk starting one hour before the performance, with general admission seating in Orchestra Hall—try a different section for a new angle. The concert also streams on DSO channels at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
