Intoxication and Resistance | Scotia Festival of Music 2026

The exquisite Mallarmé songs show Ravel at his most experimental, exploring the modernist sound world of Stravinsky and Schoenberg. Then, music by Ravel's teacher, Gabriel Fauré: his elegiac trio, composed in 1923. Julius Eastman, the iconoclastic American composer and pianist, has been rediscovered in recent years as a minimalist pioneer. "Gay Guerilla" is one of his most significant works, revealing a fascinating and powerful musical voice.
