Program
Olivier Moulin dedicates this piano-recital program to Claude Debussy, a french composer who claims an important legacy from the great french musicians of the baroque era (Rameau, Couperin), but also from Frederic Chopin, whose mastery of piano form and writing had a great influence.
Also, the evening will be an occasion to listen to five pieces from the « Hindu Songs and Dances » written by Inayat Khan between 1913 and 1914. This recital program around Debussy is structured as a link between the East and the West.
