The Emerald Ensemble are featured guests on this concert of Romantic French music by the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Geoffrey Larson.
A chorus of sixteen singers will sing three works: Gabriel Fauré’s sumptuous Pavane and two majestic but little-heard masterworks by Lili Boulanger. In addition, the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra will present music by Lalo and Ravel. The Emerald Ensemble’s own Melissa Plagemann is the featured soloist for Ravel’s Three Poems of Mallarmé.
