Erik Satie - Gymnopédies Nos. 1 & 2
Maurice Ravel - Piano Concerto in G Major
Gabriel Fauré - Ballade, Op. 19
Paul Hindemith - Symphony “Mathis der Maler”

Fauré, Satie and Ravel are quintessential French impressionists, composers who with a stroke of the pen create images, scenes and vignettes of emotion with the broad palate of the orchestra. Satie’s Gymnopedies shine serenely like the morning sun off a summer lake. French pianist, Philippe Bianconi performs Ravel’s Concerto in G, jazz inspired with one of the most beautiful middle movements of any concerto, and Fauré’s elegant Ballade. The orchestra completes this sonically stunning program with Hindemith’s Symphony “Mathis der Maler,” an evocative homage to painter Matthias Grünewald.
