Episode 8: The Boy

We're continuing our summer coverage of music festivals with another concert from Aspen! This week, the Chamber Symphony will be performing Ravel's operetta Les Enfants et les Sortileges, a cautionary tale about a young boy in his room. The fine libretto by French author Colette intertwines perfectly with Ravel's wonky yet beautiful score to create a surreal alternate reality in which  time-out is not so simple.
