Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer and conductor Tan Dun makes his fourth appearance with TŌN. The program comprises Debussy’s dreamy Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel’s second suite of music from his pastoral ballet Daphnis and Chloé, as well as two works by the conductor: his expressive 2014 piece Ten Thousand Galloping Horses and a selection from Four Secret Roads of Marco Polo, which the composer called “a soulful search of cultural harmonies”.
