A true celebration of French music, this program is framed by two popular Impressionist works by Maurice Ravel: the brilliant Alborada del gracioso and the lavish ballet Daphnis et Chloé – not only Ravel’s best work, but also one of the most beautiful products of all French music.

Performing Jean Françaix’s Clarinet Concerto, the guest soloist Ognjen Popović is also one of Philharmonic’s very own. Popović first appeared as a soloist with the Belgrade Philharmonic at the age of 13 and has served as Principal Clarinet since 2002.
