3rd symphony concert With works by Jean Sibelius, Missy Mazzoli and Richard Strauss
Program:
Jean Sibelius - Valse triste op. 44
Jean Sibelius - Symphony No. 7 in C major op. 105
Missy Mazzoli - Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)
Richard Strauss - Death and Transfiguration, tone poem op. 24
A last dance, a cosmos of sound, a transition: Sibelius' Valse triste transports us into a melancholy mood of farewell, while his 7th Symphony with its one-part structure conveys the impression of a powerful inner awakening. Mazzoli uses modern, experimental sounds to create a fascinating cosmos of sound - for Orbiting Spheres - which makes the infinite nature of the universe tangible. Death andTransfiguration represents the dramatic transition from life to death - a powerful yet sublime exploration of the theme of transfiguration.
