The Highsmith Award, endowed by Jim Highsmith, is the Conservatory’s top composition prize. Maurice Ravel's *Le Tombeau de Couperin* features six movements, all based on traditional dance movements from the French Baroque suite: Prélude, Fugue, Forlane, Rigaudon, Menuet, and Toccata and is dedicated to the memory of his friends lost in the first World War. Jean Sibelius wrote *The Oceanides* for his one and only trip to the United States in 1914, meanwhile Sibelius’ Violin Concerto is noted for its rhapsodic nature and technical challenges, all of which are dear to violinists. ▪︎ **Meet at 6:45 sharp** at the entrance doors of the Hume Concert Hall (50 Oak St.) ▪︎ **PLEASE don't be a no-show.** If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event. ▪︎ **A late cancelation** will count as a no-show. **PROGRAM** ▪︎ Pierre Fontaine: *Suite Occitane* (Highsmith Award Winner, World Premiere) ▪︎ Maurice Ravel: *Le Tombeau de Couperin* I. *Prélude*.
