Legacy: Debussy + Hamelin at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

Special guest Marc-André Hamelin, a pianist “known for a technical finesse that borders on the supernatural” (The Seattle Times), headlines the final program on Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s popular Chamber Series. He performs Nadia Boulanger’s post-impressionist Three Pieces for Cello and Piano, and Franck’s expressive Piano Quintet in F minor, which complements Leclair’s innovative Sonata for Two Violins in E minor, Op. 3, No. 5, and Debussy’s dream-like Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp. All four composers on the program are united by their contributions to the multi-generational musical pedagogy and landscape of France. They each exemplify the myriad ways in which our lives are continually shaped by the people and circumstances around us. Legacy: Debussy + Hamelin is made possible, in part, with the generous support from Anne-Marie + Alex Spataru.
