Songs of Hope

Music that gives hope: For their Berlin debut, soprano Marie-Laure Garnier – who has already received considerable acclaim in France – and pianist Célia Oneto Bensaid will perform works by Francis Poulenc and Olivier Messiaen. They combine these with American spirituals, creating a captivating musical dialogue.



"These songs are like a mirror for ourselves and the diversity of different cultures," say the two artists. "Our destinies are intertwined, and our differences make us stronger."
