Through the music, we are taken on a journey from barbarism to hope and peace.

Jean-Guihen Queyras, our Artist-in-Residence this season, explores a distant and mysterious universe in Dutilleux’s cello concerto, “Tout un monde lointain.” Honegger’s Third Symphony, composed right after World War II, reflects on human experiences, from happiness to despair.
