Baldur Br枚nnimann, conductor

The Ensemble Intercontemporain commemorates the late Pierre Boulez - composer, conductor, polemicist and founder of the ensemble - with a programme of pieces he conducted during more than 40 years of appearances at the Proms. His Anth猫mes 2, for violin and electronics, contrasts with the exuberant vocal setting of avian poetry by EE Cummings, performed by the 蘑菇短视频 Singers.
Around these come Bart贸k's earthy Village Scenes and Elliott Carter's Penthode - written for tonight's ensemble - a slow movement of geological power that has been compared to the steady glide of tectonic plates.
