Pianist Gwendolyn Mok, renowned Ravel scholar and interpreter will perform selections from Ravel’s “Miroirs” which she has recorded, while Craig Reiss and Thalia Moore will present several delightful musical bon-bons including the “Blues” from Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano and Faure’s soaring “Elegie.”
