Alexander Scriabin 1872 - 1915
Prometheus, The Poem of Fire

Alexander Scriabin's symphonic poem 'Prometheus, The Poem of Fire' celebrates synesthesia and cosmic unity. Devised by San Francisco Symphony Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Cartier in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent, the San Francisco Symphony and Cartier present a multisensory production of 'Prometheus'. This collaborative world premiere combines dynamic musical and light performance with olfactory curation, subsuming audiences in Scriabin's creative vision more than a century after the piece of total art was composed.
