Tomoko joins an ensemble of Princeton University performance faculty, distinguished guest artists and supremely talented students on a musical time-travel back to January 14, 1914 France when Maurice Ravel’s Trois poèmes de Mallarmé, a sequence of three art songs based on poems by Stéphane Mallarmé for soprano, two flutes, two clarinets, piano, and string quartet, received its world premiere. The ensemble recreates the program of that concert, featuring works by Ravel’s French contemporaries.
