Un Menu Musical, with guest conductor Dr. Bruce Browne
Saturday, June 2, 2012 8:00 pm
Agnes Flanagan Chapel, Lewis & Clark College
Resonance welcomes Dr. Bruce Browne back to Portland to conduct this French musical feast! Because our Artistic Director Katherine FitzGibbon will be away on sabbatical from Lewis & Clark researching German requiems in the Third Reich in Berlin, we have the wonderful opportunity to work with Bruce Browne, retired from Portland State University, Portland Symphonic Choir, and Choral Cross-Ties. Dr. Browne will take us on a musical journey through exceptional French literature, designed to mirror an extravagant multi-course French meal. The main course will consist of movements from Poulenc's anti-war Figure Humaine, Egk's Trois Chansons, and works from Janequin to Ravel, but we promise to have some fun "amuse-bouche" to tickle your musical palate: French folk music, music from Haiti, and even some French chansons by none other than Leonard Bernstein.
Single Tickets available online.
By the end of the concert, we expect that you'll have worked up an appetite, so we invite you to join us for our end-of-season French reception, with French wines, cheeses, and pastries. Tickets are $25 (ages 21 and over only, please). Assurément délicieux!
