Discover Jean Coulthard’s Endymion, a lush, moonlit tone poem that transports listeners into the dreamy world of classical myth. Then, Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin charms with its elegant, Baroque-inspired dances. Finally, Richard Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration portrays life’s final moments and the promise of transcendence. Through evocative melodies and full-bodied orchestration, Strauss invites listeners on a profound journey from struggle to eternal peace. Program Jean Coulthard Endymion Ravel Tombeau de Couperin R.
