Patricia Kopatchinskaja's Dies Irae, Princeton University Concerts

Thursday March 26, 2026
7:30 PM

Part concert, part installation, this multimedia work conceived by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja merges a fierce musical enactment of the day of judgment with a sharp critique of war and the climate crisis as drivers of our self-destruction, weaving together the compositions of Giacinto Scelsi, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, George Crumb, Jimi Hendrix, Antonio Lotti, John Dowland, and Galina Ustvolskaya to evoke a haunting final "day of wrath." A Princeton University Concerts special event.
