Rituel, a collaboration highlighting Pierre Boulez's legacy and his impact on contemporary music and dance, is a series of three engagements celebrating the 100th anniversary of the famed composer's birth. Co-commissioned by the Orchestre de Paris – Philharmonie, Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, and L.A. Dance Project, this performance brings together the artistic expertise of conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. It features Boulez's composition Rituel in memoriam Bruno Maderna, honoring his friend and fellow composer. The program also includes works by Debussy and Bartók, all conducted by Salonen, with choreographic interludes by Millepied, performed by the dancers of L.A. Dance Project.
