WHAT WE CAN KNOW ABOUT EDMOND AND BASILE
New Orleans Film Festival
October 24th.
7:45 p.m.
The Broad Theater
Over the past year, Sascah Just has documented
the story of two artistic resurrections that could only have happened in New Orleans:
19th century Creole composers Edmond Dédé and Basile Barès had been buried in history for far too long.
But no more! Pianist-composer Oscar Rossignoli and OperaCréole in collaboration with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and the Historic New Orleans Collection undertook the herculean task of staging two very special premieres of their works.
Oscar Rossignoli brought a solo performance of Basile Barès unpublished composition “Los Campanillas"
to Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro.
OperaCréole (under the direction of Givonna Joseph) with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (under the baton of maestro Patrick Quigley Dupré) premiered Edmond Dédé’s opera “Morgiane” at St. Louis Cathedral.
WHAT WE CAN KNOW ABOUT EDMOND AND BASILE documents the process, the premieres, and takes the audience on a journey into the past to find out what we can about these two great composers. Along the way, we meet the composers' descendants, a piano tuner who made astonishing discoveries about Basile Barès, an art collector of Creole paintings, and historians who dig deep into the hidden histories of Edmond and Basile.
