Description
Counterpoint Concerts opens its 2025–26 season with a tribute to Maurice Ravel in honor of the 150th anniversary of his birth, featuring his most evocative solo piano works. Natalia Kazaryan performs selections from Miroirs, followed by Jeux d’eau, accompanied by Charles Perryman’s live animation. The centerpiece is Ravel’s haunting Gaspard de la nuit, whose eerie characters are brought to life through real-generative visuals and a live audiovisual performance by New York-based artist Eric Lee, aka easterner.
(Note: A matinee performance has been added on Saturday due to popular demand.)
