Ravel Boléro

Dive into Maurice Ravel’s wildly famous Boléro, with its unmistakable opening bars — full of steady, persistent drumming and enchanting melodies for solo woodwinds. Conductor Emeritus Ludovic Morlot completes our season-long celebration of Ravel with this exciting program, which also includes the ravishing and evocative Rapsodie espagnole. A brand-new flute concerto for Principal Flute Demarre McGill arrives on our stage, courtesy of Allison Loggins-Hull. We also feature our mighty brass and percussion sections one final time before the summer in a rarely heard thriller by Gunther Schuller.
