Step into the salons and side streets of Montmartre and the golden glow of fin-de-siècle Paris.
Rising star Ana Bursac curates an evening marking milestone anniversaries of Satie and Ravel with a programme that steps between dream and reality.
Lose yourself in the moonlit reflections of Debussy’s Clair de Lune, the poetic restraint of Satie’s Gymnopédie No.1, and the haunting nostalgia of Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte. Anchored by Chopin’s Ballade No. 4, this recital provides the perfect musical soundscape of Parisian life, from the sultry tunes of the salons frequented by Liszt, to the carnival melodies of the Marais, and the Gregorian tones heard in the city’s Gothic churches.
