Wedding dress remains wedding dress and blue cabbage remains blue cabbage? My ass: Sometimes it's the other way around! When Luxembourg's multi-talented Francesco Tristano and the Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg make a guest appearance at PRO ARTE this season, it quickly becomes clear how open and permeable the boundaries between classical, jazz and other musical styles have always been. Whether Bizet lets the flamenco castanets rattle in his "Carmen" suite, Gershwin
brings swing to the orchestra in his "Rhapsody in Blue" or Ravel delivers an opulently orchestrated version of the Spanish dance of the same name in "Boléro" - pop culture always finds its way onto the concert stage and lends its special charm to classically composed works. Freedom for the Classical!
