12/06/2025 – WORLD PREMIERE OF “TE DEUM POUR NOTRE-DAME” IN PARIS

Notre-Dame

Composed to celebrate the rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris, Thierry Escaich’s Te Deum pour Notre-Dame will be premiered on June 12.  
These pages, slowly unfolding towards the light, develop from afire that burns” to “a flame that illuminates without burning”, as the composer says.
They honour the history of the cathedral up to the present days as well as its spiritual and cultural influence, with a text that awakens the figures linked to it – from Saint Louis to Charles Péguy, from Frédéric Ozanam to Saint Genevieve, including Paul Claudel and Victor Hugo – alongside Nathalie Nabert’s contemporary poetic visions, written for the occasion.
The work will be performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alain Altinoglu, the Narodowe Forum Muzyki Choir Wrocław, and the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris.
