RelevanzEnsemble: Ghost opera - after work concert

Chamber music from around the world with RelevanzEnsemble.

Programme

  • Einojuhani Rautavarra: String Quartet No. 1, Quartettino (1952)
  • Tan Dun: Ghost Opera for string quartet and pipa (1994)

Experience Tan Dun's spectacular Ghost Opera

The last four-night concert of the season combines the music of Einojuhani Rautavarra and Tan Dun in an expressive and playful musical programme. Rautavaara's first string quartet is an electric work that spans lively, fun and sad emotions with clear references to Finnish folk music. Dun's Ghost Opera combines elements from Chinese music, folk songs and J.S. Bach in a breathtaking musical journey where you can also hear the sounds of objects such as paper, water and stone.
