Pierre Boulez turns 90 this year, and this is both an innovative retrospective and a multi-faceted introduction to one of the giant figures in the music of our time. A Pierre Dream is an acoustic and theatrical journey through a lifetime of musical adventures, innovations and discoveries performed within a specially commissioned design by world renowned architect Frank Gehry. The production mixes live performance of works spanning over six decades of his creative career with rare on-screen archival footage and new interviews.
A Pierre Dream was conceived by Gerard McBurney as part of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s acclaimed Beyond the Score series, developed equally for all audiences, whether newcomers or seasoned concert-goers.
