One of music’s greatest abilities is to depict tales with breathtaking colour and accuracy leaving audiences spellbound. Juraj Valčuha makes his highly-anticipated debut leading a program of composer storytellers. Debussy portrays the splendour and mystery of the sea in La mer while Ravel returns to scenes from adolescence by depicting the charming nursery rhymes of Mother Goose.  Acclaimed for his interpretations of Mozart, pianist Jonathan Biss brings the melodies of the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 13 to life.
