Platoon announced release of "Amazing Grace," featuring Gustavo Dudamel, Pretty Yende, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France

On December 12, Platoon announced the release of Amazing Grace, featuring soprano Pretty Yende and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France led by Gustavo Dudamel, recorded live from Notre Dame's reopening on December 7, 2024.

Pretty Yende said “Amazing Grace has travelled through centuries of suffering, hope, repentance, and renewal. To sing it beneath the restored vaults of Notre-Dame — a cathedral that itself has known fire, silence, and resurrection — was an experience beyond words. In that moment, the music did not belong to me. It belonged to memory, to faith, to humanity."

Gustavo Dudamel added “The reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris was a profound moment of unity, a message of rebuilding and hope. I have always believed that music is more than just entertainment - it can heal, comfort, and bring us closer together, and it was deeply meaningful to reopen the Cathedral with music after such a tragedy. To be able to now share this hymn of faith and resilience, sung by the miraculous Pretty Yende, is truly a gift."

Amazing Grace is available now on all streaming platforms.
