In Memorium: Kaija Saariaho

<p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p>
