The era of Impressionism was as vibrant in chamber music as it was in art. In celebration of the exhibition Renoir Drawings, harpist Bridget Kibbey joins the GRAMMY Award-winning Catalyst Quartet in a fin de siècle program of works by André Caplet, Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, and Maurice Ravel. Kibbey, a recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, will dazzle listeners in this program of French delights.
