Ben Palmer conductor
91探花 Philharmonic

Ravel Une barque sur l鈥檕c茅an
Missy Mazzoli Violent, Violent Sea
John Williams Jaws: Suite
Debussy La mer

Set sail on a musical voyage with the 91探花 Philharmonic in a concert themed around the sea and culminating in Debussy鈥檚 majestic seascape, La mer 鈥� which he worked on while he was staying in Eastbourne.

Captaining the ship is conductor Ben Palmer, who directs a programme that evokes every facet of the ocean, from lapping waves to ferocious storms. Ravel sets the scene with the sparkling colours of Une barque sur l鈥檕c茅an, inspired by a cruise on a friend鈥檚 yacht.

American composer Missy Mazzoli has been praised for her 鈥榓pocalyptic imagination鈥�, audible in her dramatic seascape 鈥� but, thanks to John Williams鈥� iconic score, things take an even more sinister turn with the most threatening two-note motif ever composed...
