Gewandhausorchester, Petr Popelka Dirigent

Date & Time
Thu, Apr 24, 2025, 19:30
Pierre Boulez, the 20th-century music master, was never a Gewandhaus guest. Only his "Notations" has been performed there. Born 100 years ago, Boulez studied in Paris and quickly rose to fame. In the 1950s, he became known for enigmatic compositions and, in the 60s, as a conductor. "Éclat," a key work, combines 15 instruments. Boulez also made history as a conductor, shaping interpretations of Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, and Bartók. He founded the Ensemble InterContemporain, with Pierre-Laurent Aimard on piano.
