The Philadelphia Orchestra: A Taste of Paris November 23, 2012

Take a musical journey from French Impressionism to jazz. Debussy’s Images contains some of his boldest writing. The charming suite from Poulenc’s ballet Les Biches, originally composed for the Ballets Russes, is filled with humorous, syncopated melodies. In An American in Paris, Gershwin vividly depicts taxi horns, smoky cafés, and falling in love in the City of Light.
