Claude Debussy wrote his most modern music in the midst of World War I. Komitas Vardapet (1869–1935), a pioneer of Armenian classical music and ethnomusicology, suffered throughout his life from the trauma of the Armenian Genocide. In the Pierre Boulez Saal, unexpected connections between the two artists become audible.
