Join the Oasis Ensemble for an afternoon of vibrant soundscapes suffused with shifting colors and often mercurial moments. Let us transform your inner landscape! Our concert begins the luscious World Premiere of The Enchanted Garden by living Italian Composer, Roberto Piana which was commissioned by the Oasis Ensemble in 2025. From there we trace Impressionism back in time from the mid-20th century back to the late-19th century with works by Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc.
