The Philadelphia Orchestra In Concert on WRTI: A Fabulous All-French Program, Dec. 8, 1 PM

Violinist Augustin Hadelich

This Sunday at 1 pm, from a concert at the end of October, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos returns to conclude his two-week residency, with a French afternoon of exotic, colorful music - Ravel’s Second Suite from his ballet Daphnis and Chloé, Debussy’s colorful images of a musical seascape in his most-famous work, La Mer, and showcasing German violinist Augustin Hadelich, making his Philadelphia  Orchestra debut in Lalo’s exuberant Symphonie espagnole.

Jeff Khaner talks about Ravel's famous flute solo in Daphnis and Chloe. The very challenging solo showcases the instrument, and has become a standard part of orchestral auditions.

During intermission, Susan Lewis will speak with Maestro Frühbeck and Principal Flute Jeffrey Khaner, and Jim Cotter will speak backstage with Mr. Hadelich.
