For the first time, Gavin Bryars (born 1943) is a guest at the Musica Festival, following a proposal by curator and writer David Sanson.
A uniquely versatile British composer and a major figure of European minimalism, he has made his mark with a singular body of work that balances formal rigor and understated lyricism. His iconic pieces Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971) and The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) have left a lasting imprint on contemporary music. A collaborator of Tom Waits, Brian Eno, and Robert Wilson, Bryars moves effortlessly between experimental music, orchestral writing, and opera.
Before his concert at Saint-Paul Church, Musica invites you to a meeting with the composer, hosted by David Sanson, who is also the music programmer at the Abbaye de Noirlac and the Musiques Démesurées festival.
