Stéphane Ginsburgh is unwell, so we have had to postpone the concert on Saturday 21 October. The new date will be announced as soon as possible. The Forum de la Création Musicale wishes a speedy recovery to Stéphane Ginsburgh, tireless conveyor of new music.
Music by Oren Boneh, Jean-Louis Libert, Fanny Libert, Denis Pousseur, Sarah Defrise
Exploration and solo journeys have always been the hallmarks of pianist Stephane Ginsburgh. At the heart of this program of discoveries are two rediscoveries. The first is Denis Pousseur's great literary-inspired masterpiece cycle "La Nuit est une folie rouge" (1998-99), all too rarely heard and for which this will be the first complete performance since its creation almost 25 years ago. The second, "The Unforgettable Fire" (1984) by Jean-Louis Libert, is also the work of a composer who has been too discreet for many years. They will resonate with the creations of two young female composers and one male composer: Oren Boneh with a whirling "Brick for Stone", Sarah Defrise with "Dead Parrot nr. 1" challenging the performer's immediate memory, and "Welcome" a piece of musical theater by Fanny Libert.
