Salonen Conducts La mer

Embark on a thrilling voyage over two striking visions of the ocean — Debussy’s ravishing La mer and Gabriella Smith’s showpiece for cello, Lost Coast. Inspired by a hiking trip along the rugged Northern California coastline, the concerto features Chicago native Gabriel Cabezas — for whom it was written. Another evocative marvel, Debussy’s Images conjures up French folk dances, English-Scottish jigs and a Spanish street festival.
