Enjoy a feast of magnifique French music in this sumptuous Keyboard Conversations^® with Jeffrey Siegel. In Festive French Fare, Siegel showcases Debussy’s beloved Clair de Lune, Ravel’s enchanting Sonatine, Saint- Saëns’ devilish Danse macabre, and two tuneful Novelettes by Poulenc. Through these pieces, he delves into the lives of the four composers responsible for crafting the French musical aesthetic of the 20^th century. Siegel’s unique “concerts with commentary” format delivers deep insight with wit and humor, and his piano playing is incomparable. “Siegel’s programs strengthen the fragile bonds of communication between composer and listener and are as welcome as they are rare” (The Chicago Tribune). An interactive question-and-answer session will conclude this program.

This performance is appropriate for all ages.
