Be transported this Sunday evening, by images of sunshine dancing on the surface of water, tantalizing hints of Javanese gamelan, iridescent mists, and East Asian artwork. Pianist Gilles Vonsattel will perform Claude Debussy’s complete Images, some of the composer’s most beautiful works for solo piano, combining pure virtuosity and ethereal lightness. Gilles will also discuss three of the movements in more detail, demonstrating the new tone colors that Debussy discovered, and sharing his thoughts on the works. A live audience Q&A follows, moderated by Music@Menlo Artistic Co-Director Wu Han.
