THE BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD

This project was commissioned for the closing of the Women's Pavilion at the Dubai World Expo and was presented at the Dubai Opera. The famous phrase by Dostoevsky served as the inspiration for creating this concert. The project was designed for a diverse, non-melomaniac audience, and our artistic intention was to express the beauty described in the Greek concept (beauty being something that goes beyond the visual, toward something that is true, good, and profound). In this context, our goal was to create several tableaux of beauty. 

​

The main tableaux were : Tchaikovsky’s Serenata for Strings, beauty expressed through romanticism and the emotion individual expressed. Debussy’s Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane, the sensory and sensual beauty of French music. Johannes Brahms’ Vier Gesänge, Op. 17 for Female Choir, Horns, and Harp, the concert concludes with this work of celestial and transcendent beauty, where the predominant voice is a women’s choir. The concert had a live transmission for mezzo.tv.
