Face to Face draws its title from St Paul's first Epistle to Corinthians. It was written as a companion piece to Hatzis' work Through a Glass Darkly; both works depict what transcendence means and feels like to Hatzis.
Born in Greece, educated in the United States and a Canadian citizen since 1985, composer Christos Hatzis (b.1953) is becoming widely known as a leading figure in contemporary classical music. His works are performed and broadcast throughout the world, and their frequent combination of a powerful spiritual foundation with an immediately accessible appeal has made a deep emotional impact upon audiences and performers alike.
