Following his second opera, Samy Moussa dives back into orchestral writing with a new piece, Nocturne, which will be premiered on the 17th March 2015 in Montreal. This performance continues his collaboration with Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and Maestro Kent Nagano, with whom he maintains a long-term professional relationship. Samy Moussa speaks about this new work, which he has deliberately designed as absolute music.
