Happy Ravel
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maurice Ravel, the musicians of the OPRL invite Tjasha Gafner, a Swiss harpist aged just 25. Trained at the famous Juilliard School in New York, Tjasha Gafner won the prestigious ARD Competition in Munich in 2023 and already has three albums to her name. Passionate about combining genres, arts and artists, she performs here in duets, trios, quintets, sextets and septets by Ravel and his contemporaries Debussy, Roussel and Tansman, not to mention a new work by Johan Farjot, conceived as a tribute to the father of the Bolero.
