A weekend of French music, Ravel’s sensuous Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2 is presented as “one of the most beautiful products of all French music” (according to Stravinsky). A world premiere is featured by ASO’s composer-in-residence Chris Rogerson, plus two exquisite, Ravel-like pieces by the too short-lived Lili Boulanger – the sister of the famed pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, who taught some of the most significant classical artists of the 20th century. The Orchestra will be joined by the Allentown Symphony Chorus on both the world premiere and Daphnis et Chloé.
