In this program, she introduces you to the concerto for cello and clarinet by Camille Pépin. Also, the epic and mysterious symphonic poem En Saga by Sibelius, the Scandinavian equivalent of La Mer by Debussy, and one of the most popular pieces of the British repertoire, the picturesque Enigma Variations by Elgar in the form of 14 musical portraits of his best friends.
