MARIE-LAURE GARNIER & CÉLIA ONETO BENSAID
Songs of Hope
Music as a source of hope: for their joint Berlin debut, soprano Marie-Laure Garnier—acclaimed as a rising operatic star across France—and her piano partner Célia Oneto Bensaid perform works by Francis Poulenc and Olivier Messiaen, juxtaposing them with American spirituals. “These songs are like a mirror for ourselves and the diversity of multiple cultures,” the two artists say. “Our fates are linked and our differences strengthen and enrich us.”
