Banalités

An evening of French choral delights.

 

The French choral repertory spans the centuries and is remarkably diverse in musical style, with much of it still performed today and loved by singers and listeners alike. This programme takes choral works from across the years and intersperses them with some of Francis Poulenc's greatest songs for solo voice and piano.
