Agata Zubel's Chapter 13 Debuts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Jan. 06, 2016

Agata Zubel's <em>Chapter 13</em> Debuts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

On January 19 the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs the world premiere of Chapter 13, a new work by acclaimed composer and multi-instrumentalist Agata Zubel. Commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the 9-minute work for soprano and ensemble is inspired by the 13th chapter of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novel “The Little Prince.” Lukasz Borowicz conducts the premiere with Zubel as soprano soloist. 

Chapter 13 is one of several premieres for Zubel this year. Ensemble Intercontemporain premieres a new work for ensemble and electronics in May, and in October the Seattle Symphony gives the premiere of a newly commissioned work.

In an evening replete with music by contemporary Polish composers, The Los Angeles Philharmonic also performs the national premiere of Paweł Mykietyn’s 3 for 13. This work, commissioned by Polish Radio in 1995, earned Mykietyn first place in the under 30 category at UNESCO’s International Composers Rostrum in Paris. 

Details on the performance can be found at laphil.com.
