Stillnes for equal voices and orchestra (commissioned by Radio France - world premiere)
Régis Campo, Dancefloor with Pulsing (French premiere)
Steve Reich, Music for Ensemble and Orchestra (French premiere)
Four pieces from the last decade, plus one commission. And back and forth between France and the United States, East Coast and West Coast. Nico Muhly, a young forty-something born in Vermont and a brilliant jewel in the crown of American music, rubs shoulders with Californian Gabriella Smith from Berkeley, before Steve Reich's Music for Ensemble and Orchestra concludes the ceremony. Not without letting Régis Campo paint the Radio France Auditorium into a Dancefloor with pulsing: exhilarating!
