Description

Ravel’s light, nostalgic work pays homage to friends who died in WWI battles. The Wound Dresser by John Adams, based on the poetry of Walt Whitman, celebrates the bravery of all who stand for a deeply held cause. Capping off the concert, immerse yourself with the glorious, triumphant Military Symphony of Haydn– who is one of the GCO’s specialties.

Maurice Ravel – Le Tombeau de Couperin

John Adams – The Wound Dresser

Joseph Haydn – Symphony No. 100 in G “Military”
