1179th House Concert, July Festival: Lecture 3, Messiaen

[PROGRAM] A Feast of Colors: Messiaen Throughout July's French music festival, we spotlight the musical world of Olivier Messiaen, a towering figure in contemporary music. We will delve deeply into the core elements that permeate his entire body of work: the roots of his Catholic faith, birdsong, and his unique rhythmic system, while exploring the artistic landmarks he established. This will be a time to intimately encounter his innovative melodies and harmonies that transcend traditional boundaries, the spiritually resonant sounds of post-war French music, and that brilliant feast of colors. *This lecture will be conducted with lecture and performance by pianist Lim Soo-yeon, with pianist Ji Yu-kyung in attendance. *A wine party will follow the lecture.
