Betsy Jolas was born in Paris in 1926. In 1940, her family moved to New York where her precocious passion for music brought her into contact with great artists during her apprentice years. Returning to Paris in 1946, she completed her musical training with Darius Milhaud and Olivier Messiaen, whose class she would continue at the Paris Conservatoire from 1971 to 1992 alongside Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Boulez. World premiered in November 2004 at the Filature in Mulhouse, L’Ascension du mont Ventoux is the stage version of Motet IV Ventosum Vocant, composed the year before. The inspiration for the work is a text written by Petrarch in 1353 after having climbed the mountain in question a few years earlier.
