Description was written before the event

Longing has inspired composers, visual artists, and poets across cultural boundaries. The German word Sehnsucht describes such a powerful yearning that it can be compared to suffering.

The programme features French impressionism, enriched by the Oriental and exotic influences that world exhibitions brought to Europe. The composers are Duparc, Wolf, Saariaho, Ravel, Aubert, and Delage.
