ABOUT THE SERIES
For newcomers and aficionados alike, the New Sunday Chamber Music Series presents casual afternoons of engaging and informative classical masterworks for small ensembles performed by some of the finest classical musicians in Canada and beyond.
Curated by acclaimed soloist, chamber musician, and UBC Violin Professor of Violin David Gillham, the series takes listeners on a musical world tour of places and times, from New York to Paris, and from the Renaissance to modern times.
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
From medieval times to the modern day, Paris has been an epicenter for some of the greatest music ever written. This concert celebrates the ‘City of Lights’ through three French composers: the Baroque master Marin Marais; the entirely new kind of musical beauty brought into the world by the ‘Impressionist’ composer Claude Debussy; and Gabriel Fauré, who was an important musical link between these distant eras. A musical afternoon extraordinaire.
