Orchestra season continues

Thursday, the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra continues its season with a fabulous concert featuring everything from Bizet to Debussy. George Bizet’s incidental music to Alphonse Daudet’s play L’Arlésienne opens the evening to dramatic effect, followed by a work by the most transformative of all the French impressionist composers, Claude Debussy. The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan by composer Charles Griffes, American’s most famous representative of musical impressionism, then takes the listener on a visit to a world of exotic mystery. The evening’s musical canvas becomes awash in tempestuous hues as the orchestra performs another of Debussy’s works, La Mer. Tickets can be found at brso.org.
