During this weekend we will try to get inside the ‘feel’ as well as the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the Impressionism label in search of what it means in music. It’s not as easy to pin down as is the Impressionist Painting Movement. Debussy initially scoffed at the tag, but what did he and Ravel owe to Monet and Pissarro as well as to composers of the earlier Romantic Movement? How did Franz Liszt’s revolutionary ideas pave the way for Impressionism? What linked qualities do we hear in the music of Erik Satie and of jazz musicians such as Duke Ellington, Bill Evans and Bix Beiderbecke? Come and join the search – all-comers welcome.
