French works spanning two centuries with a rising star
Venue: Aysgarth, St Andrew's Church
Pianist and harpsichordist Xiaowen Shang, a 2024 BBC Music Magazine Rising Star, is known for her versatility and stylish approach to music of many eras. Tonight she plays French keyboard works spanning two centuries: Messiaen’s birdsong piece La Fauvette Passerinette, only recently uncovered in the composer’s archive; Couperin’s poetic 14th Suite; and Ravel’s impressionist Le Tombeau de Couperin.
