Ensemble Intercontemporain – Genesis

Synopsis

In the year of its 40th anniversary, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, famous for its performances of 20th and 21st century music, presented five very special programmes at the Cité de la Musique and the Théâtre de Chaillot in Paris, each one of them dealing with its own particular subject. The single works performed in the 5 concerts are available as 23 individual films. Genesis has especially been commissioned on the occasion of the Ensemble’s 40th anniversary. Consisting of seven orders to seven composers, each one based on one day from the biblical genesis, it aims to question the concept of creation in various nuances.
