Today marks the 162nd anniversary of the birth of Claude Debussy, a monumental composer often hailed as the father of modern music. Debussy's influence, especially through his compositions for piano, has left an indelible mark on music history. His works have been a recurring feature in Piano+ recitals, and this year is no exception. At Concert 3 – En Plein Air at the Out West Piano Fest 2024, you’ll have the chance to experience Debussy’s L’isle Joyeuse live. Listen to the audio snippet by tapping the image for a preview of this enchanting composer.
