Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Ravel Revealed

Let’s revel for Ravel on his 150th birthday year! We’ll celebrate this French composer and fabulous orchestrator, Maurice Ravel, with fan favorites and pieces that are new to our orchestra repertoire. Opening with the too rarely-performed, lively, and colorful Alborada del gracioso, the program progresses through a homage to French Baroque composer François Couperin for chamber orchestra and the Mother Goose Suite, orchestrated by the composer from a two-hand piano piece. The magnificent and contemporaneous Piano Concerto in G has a jazzy blues component, and features pianist Marika Bournaki. We end on a high note with 1928 top hit, Boléro, featuring the orchestra as soloists and together.

RAVEL – Alborada del gracioso
RAVEL – Tombeau de Couperin
RAVEL – Mother Goose Suite
RAVEL – Piano Concerto
RAVEL – Boléro

Special Guest: Marika Bournaki, piano
