PRELUDE 7 PM Lecture by Kristi Brown Montesano
Laughter and Lessons in the City of Lights The delightful variety of this program finds a common thread in Paris, the city where Chopin, Debussy, and Stravinsky all lived, loved, and created. We will explore the idiosyncratic humor of Chopin’s Scherzos, the serious business of Debussy’s formidable concert Études, and the Russian traditions and modernist innovations of Stravinsky’s Petrushka—and how Paris offered the perfect milieu for these works.
