Daphnis et Chloe

Concert Details
Mozart’s ballet music from his opera Idomeneo opens the door to this program featuring one of the largest and most-loved ballet scores ever written, Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. The Kalamazoo Bach Festival Chorus joins us in an unforgettable presentation of the complete ballet, with supertitles. The program also includes Richard Strauss’ comical tone poem Till Eulenspiegel, about the life (and death) of the trickster of the same name as recorded in German folklore of the Middle Ages.
