A Tale by Ravel
In the year that marks the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel's birth, the Porto Museum and Libraries presents the first organ recital entirely dedicated to the French composer and pianist, who, curiously, never wrote for that instrument. In an absolute world premiere, this concert is constructed as a symbolic journey, where the order of the pieces traces a narrative: from the vertigo of decadence to the promise of a rebirth, to the rediscovery of the luminous simplicity of childhood imagination.
