Piano recital focuses on French women
Women feature prominently in the musical world of 19th and 20th century Paris, both as creators and muses. At least, that’s the story that pianists Gilles Vonsattel and Wu Han tell in their joint recital program titled “Les Parisiennes.”
In the latest virtual offering from Music@Menlo — the chamber festival for which Wu Han serves as coartistic director — the two artists have assembled a program of French music by and about women. In the former category are works by Louise Farrenc and Lili Boulanger, which are joined by pieces by Fauré, Debussy and Ravel.
“Les Parisiennes”: 5 p.m. Sunday, Mar. 14. Available to stream through March 21. $25. www.musicatmenlo.org
