A delicate stained-glass light illuminates this program which explores the themes of mysticism and spiritual ascent. There, the musical experience transcends, in all its forms, the fear of finiteness and the "triumph of death".

Towards the light is commissioned by Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre de Paris-Philharmonie and The Svetlanov Legacy Charity.
