This concert offers a rich journey through the legacy of French music, spanning over two centuries of stylistic evolution-from the Baroque elegance of Lully and Rameau, through the Romantic sentiment of Massenet, to the lyrical modernism of Lili Boulanger. Presented in the 250th year since the American Revolution, the program also honors the deep historical ties between France and the United States, celebrating the cultural heritage of a nation that stood alongside the American colonies in their struggle for independence.
