Event Detail

Minnesota Orchestra
Sarah Hicks, conductor
Sam Bergman, host

Debussy’s symphonic portrait of the sea is regarded as one of the 20th century’s greatest works, one that offers a complex and beautiful palette of colors and sounds. At this concert we’ll take an in-depth look at this classic work of musical French Impressionism and explore Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun—a showcase for the flute as a central figure in an alluring natural tableau.

Through lively discussion, shared musical insights and humorous stories, Sam and Sarah lead audiences through a fun and fresh exploration of the classics, culminating in a full performance of the featured work.
