Works by Ravel

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Works by Ravel” brings Maurice Ravel’s chamber writing into focus at Alice Tully Hall, in a program presented by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center alongside music by Respighi. Ravel’s scores treat timbre as structure, letting melody pass through changing instrumental colors with near-clinical precision. Though Ravel is long established in New York concert life rather than tied to a single premiere milestone, these works remain a reference point for how French modernism entered American halls. One could argue his restraint is the drama.
