Esa-Pekka Salonen ConductorOlivier Latry Organ
Saariaho Lumière et Pesanteur
Salonen Sinfonia concertante, for organ and orchestra
Ravel Daphnis and Chloe (complete ballet)
Mesmerizing soundscapes with famed conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen! The performance opens with Lumière et Pesanteur, written as a gift for Salonen from fellow Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. It’s the perfect first course for the fantastic feast of music to come: Olivier Latry, titular organist at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, in Salonen’s “boldly cinematic” (LA Times) Sinfonia concertante and the complete score of Ravel’s achingly beautiful Daphnis and Chloe. With its transfixing lyricism and unique orchestration (including wind machine and wordless chorus), this sensual, evocative classic conjures up a mystical world where love is all.
