Patricia Kopatchinskaja: Dies Irae

  • Princeton University Chapel Princeton University Chapel Princeton, NJ, 08544 United States (map)

Part concert, part installation, this multimedia work conceived by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja merges a fierce musical enactment of the day of judgment with a sharp critique of war and the climate crisis as drivers of our self-destruction, weaving together the compositions of Giacinto Scelsi, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, George Crumb, Jimi Hendrix, Antonio Lotti, John Dowland, and Galina Ustvolskaya to evoke a haunting final "day of wrath." Cosponsored by Princeton University Concerts.
