Music Salon: Echoes of the East

Music Salon: Echoes of the East examines the cultural influences and international encounters behind the music of Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Jacques Ibert. PostClassical Ensemble’s program considers how these French composers imagined cultures and places east of Western Europe and incorporated those ideas into the classical tradition.
