Onstage discussion with Kaija Saariaho

Called “one of the most original compositional voices of our time,” Kaija Saariaho (b. 1952) is a prominent member of a group of Finnish composers making a worldwide impact. Her music is at once opulent and mysterious, with dense everchanging textures, often created by a combination of music and electronics. This Portrait features the dramatic Graal théâtre, a 25-minute violin concerto that juxtaposes the virtuosity of the violinist with the activity of the ensemble, which morphs from delicate calm to vibrant commotion.

Major support for contemporary music programming is provided by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts, and The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Inc.
