The second concert in series “Always Classical.”
The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in classical music is undoubtedly the period of Impressionists. Inspired by painting and symbolist poets, there emerged a new movement in music standing in opposition to the romantic style of composing. On the centenary of Claude Debussy's death, we will focus on the composer’s work, considered the main representative of Impressionism in music.
