Movie: Ad vitam, la grande aventure des missions étrangères de Paris en Asie

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    Since the 18th century, the Paris Foreign Missions Society (MEP) has been sending priests to Asia in the name of the Gospel. The MEP missionaries have contributed to an extraordinary human, cultural, and religious adventure that gave birth to the Churches of Asia. The MEP priests continue the work begun 350 years ago by the first missionaries: bearers of good news, pioneers, spiritual mentors, and social activists, they are writing the history of the universal Church in Asia.

Their artistic triumph onstage belies a dynamic and dramatic life backstage. The orchestra is a closed society that observes its own laws and traditions, and in the words of one of its musicians is, “an island, a democratic microcosm – almost without precedent in the music world - whose social structure and cohesion is not only founded on a common love for music but also informed by competition, compulsion and the pressure to perform to a high pitch of excellence... .” Never before has the Berlin Philharmonic allowed such intimate and exclusive access into its private world.
