Next Public Arts
Concert April 29
The last of this year’s Public Arts Commission “Live
Arts” concerts will be at the Cathedral City Library Community Room on
Sunday, April 9th, at 3 PM. Cathedral City’s own chamber ensemble, Canyon
Classics, will present a program entitled “April in Paris – music by
favorite 19th and 20th century French composers.” The ensemble consists of a
flute, violin, clarinet and piano (played by the humble writer of these news
briefs). The concert will consist of music by Ravel, Debussy, Poulenc,
Massenet and Saint-Saëns.
A special performance, just for children, of “The Story
of Babar the Little Elephant” for narrator and piano with music by Poulenc
will be given at 1:30 PM the same day in the community room. The half-hour
work, based on the first book of the Babar children’s series by Jean de
Brunhoff, will also be performed as part of the main concert at 3 PM for the
general public. The concert is made possible in part by a grant from the
Riverside Community Foundation.
