About the concert
“The concert opens with Messiaen’s Appel Interstellaire, whose call seems to echo out to the universe. In the expression of Shaw and Bjarnason’s works, older forms of composition play in the background, and the concert concludes with the octet” Autumn Equinox “, in which the musical themes of my opera Autumn Sonata find a new balance with each other. What all the works in the concert have in common is the feeling of stepping into the other side of the mirror and looking at an existing situation or the world from different angles.”
“Konserten inleds med Messiaen’s Appel Interstellaire, ett rop som tycks genljuda genom hela universum. I Shaws och Bjarnasons verkörs ekon av älder musikaliska ehemal, som ger uttrycken en historisk resonans. The concert ends with the octet Autumn Equinox, where thematic material from my opera Höstsonaten is revisited and finds a different kind of balance. Common to all of the concert’s works is a sense of staring through a mirror and seeing reality, the world or survival from new and different perspectives.”
