This concert showcases the work of the French composer, organist, pianist and pedagogue Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924), who after many struggles in his earlier life eventually became Head of the Paris Conservatoire. (Among his pupils was Maurice Ravel.) Fauré, who may be seen as a figure linking Romanticism with the modern era, is best known for his Pavane, his Requiem and the many fine mélodies (French art songs) he composed.
