“Already as a child, I was enchanted by Albert Roussel’s ballet Bacchus and Ariadne,” says Samy Moussa, this season’s composer-in-residence. The concert programme, which draws on ancient Greece and the eternal questions of humanity, is complemented by Moussa’s own piece, premiered in 2024, in which Antigone wants to bury her brother who died in battle, even under the threat of the death penalty.
