On January 26, a new work by Pascal Dusapin’s, used to large halls and German formations, will be premiered under the direction of Kent Nagano and his Hamburg orchestra with the world premiere of Waves. Concerto written for the expert fingers of the organists Iveta Apkalna (who will premiere it) and Olivier Latry (in national premiere in various countries next season). alongside the Elbphilharmonie, the work will be perform by the Symphonic Orchestra of Montreal, l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, la Philharmonie de Paris, l’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande et l’Orchestre du Théâtre de la Monnaie. It is an understatement to say, with such kinship, that the work is expected and already considered as one of the essential milestones of the new symphonic decade.
