Part of TŌN’s Fisher Center concert series

Celebrated Canadian conductor Jean-Marie Zeitouni makes his debut with TŌN in an all-French program. The evening begins with Saint-Saëns’ exuberant Bacchanale from his opera Samson et Dalila. Then mezzo-soprano Megan Moore, a co-founder of the Lynx Project who has performed with the Metropolitan Opera, joins us for Berlioz’s tenderly expressive song cycle The Summer Nights. The program also includes Fauré’s evocative suite of incidental music for the play Pelléas et Mélisande, and Vincent d’Indy’s soaring and lyrical Symphony on a French Mountain Air, featuring Bard College Conservatory faculty pianist Ryan MacEvoy McCullough.

This concert will also be livestreamed on TŌNtube.
