Berlioz: Overture ‘King Lear’ Op. 4 
Debussy: Danse sacrée et Danse profane
Harp soloist Elizabeth Scorah
Ravel: ‘Daphnis et Chloé’ Ballet
Our French first concert opens with Berlioz’ mercurial and richly programmatic King Lear. Harpist Elizabeth Scorah features in Debussy’s dreamily evocative Danse sacrée et Danse profane, followed by Ravel’s masterpiece of which he wrote: ‘Sumptuous and subtle, I have created the Greece of my dreams.’
