In Memorium: Kaija Saariaho

Kaija Saariaho was a force to be reckoned with in the new
classical music world: an innovator in so many ways while
maintaining the highest musical integrity.


From her early work at IRCAM to her operas and the many works she
wrote for ensembles large and small, Saariaho developed a
distinctly individual voice that was instantly recognizable.


We mourn her premature death as it is truly a loss to the musical
community. May she rest well now and may we remember her through
her art.
