A Frenchman in Omaha: On the Road with Ravel

Foley Schuler combines two of his great loves, travel and the composer Maurice Ravel, in this all-new presentation–an entertaining, multimedia fantasia detailing various stops on the celebrated French musician’s four-month, nearly 20-city tour of America in 1928. To see Ravel in motion, and against the colorful backdrop of America–not to mention America’s reaction at the seemingly exotic Frenchman–gives fresh insight into his unique music and life, in this lecture that puts the Ravel back in travel.
