BOULEZ ENSEMBLE – MANOURY

The music of Philippe Manoury, one of the leading French composers of our time, has been heard regularly at the Pierre Boulez Saal. Conducted by François Xavier Roth, the Boulez Ensemble performs two of his larger ensemble works: Passacaille pour Tokyo of 1994 as well as Grammaires du sonore, premiered in Paris in 2022, in which the composer explores new forms of musical grammar and syntax. Equally groundbreaking chamber music written by Claude Debussy during the last years of his life completes the program.
