EVENT: Ravel: Some of It
LOCATION: Kessa Mefford's Piano Studio
DESCRIPTION: Join pianist Kessa Mefford and soprano Kristina Cook for their new-and-improved "Ravel: All of It!" After a successful Carnegie Hall debut in December 2022, the duo has performed the complete art songs of Ravel in venues all across the country. Over the past year, it has evolved from a very polished, poised performance presented in Carnegie Hall to an more interactive, engaging, and entertaining (and still very polished!) show. Even if you saw them at Carnegie Hall, you won't want to miss this performance. The stories behind each song will be brought to life by Kessa's comedy-filled verbal descriptions, Kristina's fantastic acting, and the duo's actions and reactions to each other. Buy tickets here!
