Franceconcert proudly presents “Boléro – Hommage à Maurice Ravel”, a performance entirely conceived by its own artistic team. This original creation was a great success during its first tour in 2016. Come rediscover this production during the 2024-2025 season!
Maurice Ravel's Boléro is a milestone in music and dance history and one of the most famous French works in the world. When Ravel was about to embark on a four-month concert tour of the United States and Canada, Ida Rubinstein, his friend and patron, asked him to write a “ballet with a Spanish character.” Ravel, sensitive to the idea of dance, chose the bolero, a traditional Andalusian dance. And so the work was born.
