The Tapiola Sinfonietta’s autumn season concludes with French music in the capable hands of the orchestra’s artistic partner, Ryan Bancroft. The harp soloist in Saint-Saëns’ and Pierné’s virtuosic concert pieces from the early 20th century is Emmanuel Ceysson, principal harpist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The harp is also featured in Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, which pays tribute to the great figure of French Baroque and to Ravel’s friends who fell in World War I. Bizet’s first and only symphony is the concert’s energetic and sparkling finale, in which one can clearly discern the very first signs of spring.
