Adieu, Pierre

"... in one way or another, I always carry him within myself."

To be or not to be with Pierre Boulez in Chicago in these happy days makes little difference to me because I am always with him and, in one way or another, I always carry him within myself. My musical tribute to this unique and endlessly generous musician, blessed by the gods, will take place in Paris on June 15 when the Ensemble Intercontemporain conducted by David Robertson will perform my Re-Call: meaning “remembering”, of course, but also “please call again” and again, for many years to come.
