The Sylvan Winds close the 2024-25 season with “Winds and Harp: Ravel and His World” featuring the wonderful harpist, Kristi Shade. Book-ended by two of Ravel’s works, the program also features music by his contemporaries Fauré and Debussy, as well as more contemporary voices, Henry Tomasi, and Jean Françaix, along with one of Couperin’s charming Concerts Royaux. The program takes place at the historic Eglise St. Jean Baptiste, considered to be one of the country’s most beautiful churches and included in the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
