Daniela Candillari, conductor


FAURÉ: Masques Et Bergamasques, op. 112

POULENC: The Story of Barbar the Little Elephant

DEBUSSY: Clair de Lune

RAVEL: Suite of Five Pieces from Ma Mère l'Oye [Mother Goose]


DURATION: Approximately 100 minutes, including intermission.

Delight in the elegant charm of Gabriel Fauré’s Masques et Bergamasques, op. 112 that sets the stage for Poulenc's playful storytelling in his L’Histoire de Babar, bringing to life the beloved tale of Babar the Elephant with humor and heart. The magic continues with Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune, a luminous and timeless classic and the wonder of Maurice Ravel’s Ma Mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite)—a vibrant and imaginative orchestral reimagining of childhood fairy tales.
