Tour de Force Masterworks Concert

The concert will feature Symphony in C under the baton of conductor Marlon Daniel, alongside the rising star cellist Ifetayo Ali. This program highlights the diversity within the French classical music repertoire, beginning with Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, one of the first known composers of African descent, who has experienced a significant resurgence in recent years. It should also be noted that this year, 2025, also marks the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth and the 280th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Bologne.
