Dervaux is a French composer and pianist whose work frequently explores the intersection of contemporary classical music with elements of jazz improvisation and electronic soundscapes. Her compositions are often described as atmospheric and characterized by intricate harmonic structures and a focus on textural exploration, frequently incorporating prepared piano techniques and extended vocal methods. She has received commissions from numerous ensembles and institutions internationally, establishing a growing reputation for innovative musical expression.

Opera City Concert Hall, located within the Opera City Tower complex in Shinjuku, Tokyo, opened in 1997. Designed by renowned architect Takahiko Yanagisawa, it is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics achieved through a unique “vineyard” style seating arrangement – surrounding the stage on three sides – and a floating structure designed to minimize external vibrations. The hall’s interior features extensive use of wood, contributing to its warm sonic character. It hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music concerts, opera, ballet, and contemporary music events. The hall is equipped with a substantial pipe organ built by Rieger Orgelbau Austria, frequently featured in performances.
