Agnès premiered the piece with the La Monnaie Symphonic Orchestra under the baton of Alain Altinoglu in Brussels, impressing audiences and critics alike. Over the years, she has premiered works by Olivier Massot, Toshio Hosokawa, Michael Maganuco, and Krzysztof Meyer, among others, proving that her dedication to the harp and to contemporary music knows no bounds.
