Keyboard Conversations With Jeffrey Siegel Presents FESTIVE FRENCH FARE, February 5

Keyboard Conversations, featuring concert pianist Jeffrey Siegel continues the 2023-2024 Season sponsored by Dr. John F. Dixon, with Festive French Fare in the Bank of America Theatre at the Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson, Texas Monday, February 5, 2024, at 7:30 pm.

Enjoy a feast of French music in Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel: Festive French Fare, featuring Debussy's Clair de Lune, Ravel's enchanting Sonatine, Saint-Saëns' devilish Danse macabre, Fauré's Après un rêve, Satie's dream-like Gymnopédie No. 1, and a tuneful Novelette by Poulenc. Through these pieces, he delves into the lives of the composers responsible for crafting the French musical aesthetic of the 20th century.

In addition to his solo appearances, Jeffrey Siegel presents Keyboard Conversations, concerts with lively commentary in an innovative format that differs from traditional recitals and appearances with symphony orchestras. A Keyboard Conversation is a concert with each work on the program performed in its entirety. Mr. Siegel speaks briefly and informally to the audience before performing each composition, illustrating with a few pertinent musical examples from the keyboard.

Single tickets range from $42-$50 and are available online at www.eisemanncenter.com or by phone through the Eisemann Center Ticket Office at 972-744-4650. The Ticket Office is open from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm Monday – Saturday and one hour before performances.
