Featuring Pianist Anton Nel and the Richmond Symphony Chorus, the Richmond Symphony will be playing Rossini's "Overture to the Barber of Seville," Poulenc's "Gloria," Ravel's "Concerto for Piano in G Major," and Stravinsky's "Jeu de Cartes." Stravinky’s Jeu de cartes (Card Game) is a cleverly humorous ballet score “in three deals.” He quotes a number of earlier pieces including Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture. Ravel’s jazz-influenced concerto reflects the wide variety of influences in 1920’s Paris, a location instrumental in the young Stravinsky’s early success. Poulenc’s Gloria, a later French composition also has connections to more popular traditions in the guise of a liturgical piece.
