The flute “carries within itself the archaic identity of many millennia while building a communicative bridge into the here and now,” says Matthias Pintscher, composer and musical director of the Ensemble intercontemporain. Joined by Emmanuel Pahud, principal flutist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and one of the world’s foremost ensembles for contemporary music, he leads a program of recent and brand-new works for and with flute by Pierre Boulez, Michael Jarrell, and Irini Amargianaki. Sophie Cherrier opens the concert performing Pintscher’s own beyond (a system of passing).
