ABOUT THIS CONCERT
With virtuosic sweeps, opulent arpeggiations, to the most intimate sonorities, Bridget Kibbey and the Calidore Quartet team up to share tales of love, death, and the macabre via masters of color: Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, André Caplet, and Maurice Ravel. From behind the harp, and behind the microphone, Kibbey illiterates how Debussy changed the way we hear harmony, how Fauré and Caplet were watching and responding...and how the harp turns itself from the most sacred of personas...to the harbinger death... via Edgar Allen Poe’s infamous story, the Mask of the Red Death. The Calidore Quartet brings their signature sound and virtuosity to Debussy's String Quartet, one of chamber music's masterpieces.
