Caroline Shaw is a complete artist. A renowned composer, violinist, and singer, she is the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, which she won in 2013 for Partita for 8 Voices at the age of thirty! From November 20 to 23, 2024, the Philharmonie de Paris is dedicating a series of concerts to her so that the French public can become better acquainted with the American artist. Klaus Mäkelä, leading the Orchestre de Paris, will ensure the French premiere of The Observatory (November 20 and 21, Grande salle Pierre Boulez). On the 22nd, excerpts from Partita for 8 Voices will be performed by the vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth (Salle des concerts – Cité de la musique). Finally, Caroline Shaw herself will take the stage, accompanied by Gabriel Kahane, to perform Hexagons, a piece they co-wrote together.
