Experience an evening of exquisite French impressionism with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra’s at the historic Carver Theatre. This thoughtfully curated program showcases two remarkable pieces, each capturing the serene, reflective qualities of the impressionist style.

The concert opens with Maurice Ravel’s Pavane for a Dead Princess, a piece known for its haunting beauty and elegant simplicity. Ravel composed this work as a nostalgic tribute to an imagined past, evoking the grace and poise of a royal procession through tender melodies and lush orchestration.

Following Ravel’s delicate masterpiece, Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem will offer a moving contrast. Unlike the intense dramatism often associated with requiem masses, Fauré’s work is gentle and introspective, focused more on conveying peace than grief. Its ethereal melodies and harmonies provide a tranquil, comforting experience for listeners, aiming to express solace and rest.

Join us for this unforgettable evening of French music, where each piece brings to life the subtle beauty and emotional depth of impressionism.
