This concert is the culmination of a special weekend devoted to the composer's music and features a performance of Boulez's sonic masterpiece Pli selon Pli ('Fold upon Fold') for soprano and orchestra. Based on fragments from the French poems of Stephane Mallarme - known for their play on phonetics - it is a piece of dynamic contrasts, subtle textures and great beauty - a perfect vehicle for the supreme technical skill of Ensemble InterContemporain and Barbara Hannigan.
