Celebrate the 120th birthday of Debussy’s revolutionary Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun before wishing Maurice Ravel a happy 150th with a performance of his Rapsodie espagnole, a colorful piece Ravel wrote while reflecting on his Spanish ancestry that’s sure to leave you dancing in your seat during the final carnival scene.
