QSO Morning Masterworks: QSO with Astanova & Schwarz at Concert Hall, QPAC

Lola Astanova's emotionally charged and theatrical style harks back to phenomenal nineteenth century recitalists like Franz Liszt and Clara Schumann. Yet, Astanova also exploits contemporary social media to engage new audiences in spellbinding accounts of Chopin, Schumann, Schubert and Brahms. Gershwin's symphonic jazzy classics An American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue are tipped to be sensational. Ravel's gorgeous Daphnis et Chloe suites were composed in 1909 after Diaghilev commissioned him to write a ballet score. Enjoy Ravel at his most compelling and inventive in these sumptuous suites.
