An evening that bears Fleur Barron's signature — her voice, her choices, her world. Around her, four musicians and a journey through the heart of the French mélodie: Fauré who laid the foundations, Ravel who walked them with sensuality and wit, Debussy who turned them into something beyond definition. From song to sonata, from chanson to trio — French music in its fullest range, shaped by one artist and her closest friends on stage.

Brahms believed he was bidding farewell to music with what he himself described as, “I have never heard a work so beautiful.” Grieg, in turn, was bidding farewell to something within himself, in a late work born out of a moment of personal and family crisis.

Mendelssohn’s Op. 80 is one of the most devastating works in the chamber music repertoire, written in the summer of 1847 after the sudden death of his sister Fanny. Dvořák’s “American” work, by contrast, was born out of a condition of exile and longing. Both works speak of an irreparable distance: from a lost loved one, and from a distant homeland.
