St Magnus Festival (3/4)
Hebrides Ensemble bring the colourful and story-filled world of Ravel to Orkney's summer festival with new chamber arrangements of Le Tombeau de Couperin and Mother Goose Suite.
The ever-versatile Hebrides Ensemble bring a colourful programme, showcasing the many sides of Ravel to Orkney's summer festival. Le Tombeau de Couperin, a stately baroque dance written by Ravel as a tribute to his fallen countrymen and the joyous children's fairytale of Mother Goose Suite are presented in imaginative new arrangements for chamber ensemble. The Introduction & Allegro by Ravel is a classic showpiece for the harp akin to a miniature concerto in its own right.
