I SOLISTI & SPECTRA

With the death of Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho the music world lost one of the great figureheads of her generation. Her refined music and poetic use of electronics continue to inspire composers of today. Three of them (Annelies Van Parys, Saskia Venegas and Ellen Jacobs) will start a dialogue with an iconic work of hers, Solar from 1993, not to canonise the repertoire, but to look ahead to the new steps that the next generations are taking on that path.
