This project was commissioned by Cartier for the closing of the Women’s Pavilion at the Dubai World Expo and was presented at the Dubai Opera. The famous phrase by Dostoevsky served as the inspiration for creating this concert. The project was designed for a diverse, non-melomaniac audience, and the artistic intention was to express the beauty described in the Greek concept (beauty being something that goes beyond the visual, toward something that is true, good, and profound). The concert had a live transmission for mezzo.tv.
Repertoire for harp, 2 horns strings (8.8.6.4.2) and female choir :
Tchaikovsky – Serenade for Strings
Debussy – Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane
