Michael Anderson and microphilharmonic continue their exploration of the works of Claude Debussy (1862-1918) and Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), this year counterposed with a nod to contemporary Erik Satie (1866-1925) and three members of "Les Six": Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) and Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983). This loosely-knit group of 6 composers – which also included Georges Auric (1899-1983), Louis Durey (1888-1979) and Arthur Honegger (the only non-French member, being Swiss, 1892-1974) — was coined as such by critic Henri Collet in 1920 because of a shared neoclassicist reaction, in Collet's view, against the impressionist music of Debussy and Ravel. The group, who lived and worked in Monparnasse and hung out with Jean Cocteau at the bar La Gaya, was significantly more complex than that…and were cetainly not a compositional "school" as such. Michael and company offer up a choice selection from Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Tailleferre, Poulenc and Milhaud which will give a good sense of these early 20th century composers.
