Performances: Apr 11 @7pm, Apr 12 & 13 @8pm

Acclaimed French conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier returns to lead La mer, Debussy's beloved masterpiece as mesmerizing as the sea by which it’s inspired. In just three movements, lush melodies roll forth, depicting the dawn’s early light upon the ocean, the frolicsome play of the waves, and the tumultuous dialogue between water and wind. The all-French program also includes Ravel’s enchanting Shéhérazade with world-renowned mezzo soprano Sasha Cooke, who recently took home her second Grammy® for Best Opera Recording.
