Alexandria Arrieche Conducts
Featuring Pianist Alexandria Le

The Henderson Symphony’s Fairytales concert will transport you to enchanted places, presenting timeless stories with magical creatures and extraordinary events. Claude Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun tells the story of a faun who awakens from a nap and falls madly in love with a nymph. This brief piece of music (just nine minutes long) is considered one of the first examples of modern music due to its innovative harmonies and orchestration. In Mother Goose, Maurice Ravel translates a collection of classical literature, including Beauty and the Beast and The Fairy Garden, into music. Ravel is also the composer of our closing piece. Pianist Alexandria Le will join the HSO to perform Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major.
