Presents

Kaija Saariaho's

La Passion de Simone

(chamber version, 2013)

"A Musical Path In Fifteen Stations"

Saturday, November 19, 2016

 

Mannes Composer in Residence Kaija Saariaho, whose first opera L’Amour de loin will be performed at the Metropolitan Opera in December, will be featured in a variety of events in NYC this season, including performances at the Park Avenue Armory with the New York Philharmonic and at the Juilliard School.  In this context, Mannes School of Music presents two exceptional staged performances of Saariaho’s cornerstone oratorio La Passion de Simone. This musical path in 15 stations is a major work crafted by composer Kaija Saariaho and writer Amin Maalouf, a contemporary Passion play on the ‘luminous trajectory’ of philosopher and activist Simone Weil, who devoted her life to the oppressed and met an untimely death in 1943. It will be performed in the critically-acclaimed production of the French music theater company La Chambre aux échos which has successfully toured in Europe, and for its NY premiere with the expert musicians of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and students of Mannes
