Guest conductor Jun Märkl and the Utah symphony will perform the innovative creations of French impressionist composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Debussy’s music is known for its sensory nature, emotional passages and poetic melodies. Ravel was inspired by traditional Basque music which can be heard in his works. His complex harmonies and intricate melodies mark his work.
