Ishtar is a work commissioned by for himself and the Paramirabo Ensemble. The title « Ishtar » comes from the name given by ancient Chaldeans to the planet Venus. First « star » of evening, last « star » of morning, it symbolised both sides of the goddess : in the evening, goddess of love; in the morning, goddess of war.
The work premiere will be on Thursday, April 5th, 2012, during the concert « New Voices/Échos de Montréal » of Paramirabo Ensemble, at Café l'Artère.
