Happy Birthday to Maurice Ravel, born on this day in 1875.
Ravel is best known for his impressionist music, characterised by rich textures, innovative harmonies, and orchestral colour.
For our closing concert of the season, 11 June, the Philharmonia will be performing two of Ravel's work's - 'Alborada del gracioso', a beguiling short piece with a Spanish flavour, and 'La Valse', a Viennese waltz said to represent the cataclysmic impact of the First World War.
