Immortal Ravel 2025-2026
Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin pays homage to the rich French musical inheritance of the 18th century and to the composer’s comrades who fell in battle. Similarly, Escher’s composition honours Ravel in a distinctly French manner. Inspired by Baroque dances, both works feature intricately textured and nuanced instrumentation.
