Music Salon: Echoes of the East

PostClassical Ensemble’s “Music Salon: Echoes of the East” examines the musical influences and cross-cultural encounters behind the distinctive sounds of Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Jacques Ibert. The program considers how French composers imagined cultures and places far east of Western Europe and incorporated those ideas into the classical tradition.

Oboist Fatma Daglar, drawing on her Turkish heritage and artistic perspective, joins clarinetist David Jones and pianist Audrey Andrist for performances marked by vivid color, rhythmic energy, and expressive detail. The musicians and PostClassical Ensemble music director Angel Gil-Ordóñez will also provide commentary during the evening.
