The “Pastoral” Symphony and the Mythology of Glass

Maison symphonique March 20, 2025

Glass drew inspiration from African poems to compose Ifé, while Beethoven conveyed his impressions as he strolled through the German countryside. From the legends of Benin, celebrated by singer Angélique Kidjo, to the rustic landscapes unfolding in the “Pastoral” Symphony, join us for a delightful moment of escape!

Ludwig van BEETHOVEN, Symphony no. 6 in F major, op. 68, “Pastoral” (39 min.)
Philip GLASS, Ifé, Three Yorùbá Songs (20 min.)
