MANIFESTE

Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, Paris, france

JUNE 27, 8:00 PM

Based in France, she comes from Singapore; he, Danish, is based in Berlin. Diana Soh and Simon Steen-Andersen combine voice and electronics in their new pieces premiered by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France for the ManiFeste festival. These two premieres bookend a 20th-century classic, Folk Songs, imagined by Luciano Berio in the 1960s. Rinat Shaham slips into the footsteps of the legendary Cathy Berberian, for whom this bouquet of popular melodies was arranged and reinvented.

Co-production of Radio France /Ircam-Centre-Pompidou as part of ManiFeste-2025, Festival de l’Ircam and the Unanimes season.
