Thursday 22 June • 20:30 • Basilique Cathédrale
Musical evocation of this “day of wrath” through works from the 16th and 17th centuries and by contemporary composers: from Heinrich Biber, John Dowland, Antonio Lotti to Jimi Hendrix and George Crumb’s Black Angels
FRENCH PREMIERE
Spatial concert Presented at COP26 in 2021
Patricia Kopatchinskaja, an extraordinary violinist – “she dares everything”, it is often said of this artist – has designed a program entitled Dies irae, “day of anger” through which she wishes to contribute to our collective awakening to ecological issues. The proposed musical montage is spectacular and composed of works ranging from Heinrich Biber, violin virtuoso and composer of the 17th century, John Dowland, Antonio Lotti to Jimi Hendrix and the Black Angels of George Crumb, American composer of the 20th century. Ancient music, music of today, played on ancient or modern instruments, sometimes electrified, this musical journey in the anything but classical instrumentarium cannot leave anyone indifferent and expresses our anger at the damage caused by man to our planet. The show is total since the musicians take over the entire space of the Basilica. Presented at COP 26 in Glasgow, it caused a stir because the power of music makes us feel the urgency of the situation deep within ourselves. The Dies irae, splendid final chorus of the concert, seizes us!
