About
Once again, Radio France relocates one of the Présences festival concerts, with no fewer than two premieres: a French first for a piece for soprano and orchestra by the French composer Pascale Criton with the British singer Juliet Fraser who is a seasoned performer of contemporary repertoire, and the Concerto for Violin by Yves Chauris with Renaud Capuçon performing the world premiere. These two premieres will be bookended by two major pieces by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, the guest of honour at the 2027 edition of the Festival.
