About

The Impressionists: Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Berlioz – their names alone evoke beauty and emotion. The WSO celebrates their music, their influence and their legacy in a week-long festival.

Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé

Orchestral colour comes to the fore in the closing concert of the Music of the Impressionists Festival with Ravel’s transfixing ballet score*. Guest artist Pascal Rogé, a master of French repertoire, will perform with elegance, beauty and stylistically perfect phrasing.

* The WSO will screen Chagall’s lithographs of Daphnis et Chloé in collaboration with the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Chagall exhibition.
