Tickets: Free
Join ANMS cello faculty Sara Wilkins and Aaron Packard, violin, for Music of Années Folles: Stripped Bare, an afternoon of music by Maurice Ravel, Arthur Honegger, and Bohuslav Martinů. Dépouillement, roughly translating to “bareness,” is often used to describe the modernist aesthetic of fashion during the Années Folles years in France, between 1922 and 1932, which stripped away the extravagances of pre-war popular dress. With each of these pieces being written during the Années Folles, we celebrate the streamlined simplicity of these fantastic French composers.
