A pillar of the French Baroque, Françoise Couperin lived and composed at the same time as some of the earliest painters featured in the Denver Art Museum’s Passport to Paris exhibition running October 27-February 9. Former Music Director Jeffrey Kahane conducts an homage to Couperin le Grand with works by Maurice Ravel and Thomas Adès. No French tribute would be complete without Frédéric Chopin, who loved and wrote for the salons of Paris.
