Olympic Music Festival Chamber Music Masters
The Olympic Music Festival wraps its season with an evening of French chamber music—Debussy, Ravel, and Fauré—at Wheeler Theater in Port Townsend's Fort Worden State Park. If you want to hear some of the most delicate, impressionistic work in the classical canon played live, this is your last chance this summer.

Lineup

  • Gabriel Fauré

    Gabriel Fauré was an outsider as he had not studied at the Conservatoire de Paris. Nevertheless, he became one of the leading composers of his age. He mainly composed for smaller ensembles – his piano music and more than 100 songs were admired in Parisian salons – although the incidental music for Maeterlinck’s Pelléas et Mélisande and the Requiem are among his best-known works today.
