RAVEL Suite of Five Pieces from Ma Mère l’Oye [Mother Goose]
DESSNER Concerto for Two Pianos
FRANCK Symphony in D minor
Popular sister piano duo returns to perform work by American composer and guitarist Bryce Dessner, who has won Grammy Awards both as a classical composer and with his band The National, as well as a nomination for his riveting film score to The Revenant. Bookending this concert are two beloved works rooted in the French tradition: the charming Mother Goose suite and Cesar Franck’s perennially popular — and insistently tuneful — Symphony in D minor.
