The Philippe Manoury celebratory year continues

2022 is a celebratory year for Philippe Manoury, and in honour of the composer's seventieth birthday, the year started brilliantly at the Phiharmonie de Paris and its String Quartet Biennale, and continues this spring, as shown in our attached calendar. The flurry of premieres (like those, to come, of a new Etude for piano, Silex, Anticipations and Grammaires du Sonore) and projects (a new "Singspiel" is currently in preparation) forms an ellipse that can only be deciphered in its entirety with the help of the composer: no sooner said than done in an exclusive interview which we are pleased to share with you. Dive deep into a “Manouryan” year of celebrations like no other!
