French Fantasies
Poulenc Sinfonietta
Maurice Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin
Louise Farrenc Symphony No.2
Mark Forkgen conductor
Exquisite French music, wine, and cheese!

Seated around our large cabaret tables, embark on a musical journey of masterful orchestration, graceful melodic contours, and incisive rhythms. Originally composed for piano, Ravel demonstrates his craftmanship in Le Tombeau de Couperin, a work written amidst the adversities of World War 1. With its virtuosic lines, vivacious passages, and colourful sonorities, it’s not hard to hear why this work is a staple on the concert platform.

But first, Poulenc’s light-hearted Sinfonietta commences this concert of French music. A work of dance rhythms, it perfectly complements Farrenc’s lyrical and thrilling Symphony No.2.
