RelevanzEnsemble: Intimate night shadows - after work concert
Chamber music from around the world with RelevanzEnsemble.
Programme
- Henryk Górecki: String Quartet No. 1, Op. 62 Already it is Dusk (1988)
- Peter Højby Morrison: Flickering Darkness for String Quartet (first performance)
- Bedřich Smetana: String Quartet No. 1, From My Life (1876)
The season's first four-night concert is a musical exploration of darkness in three different forms. From the early evening darkness in the form of Henryk Górecki's Already it is Dusk, and on to the stages of insomnia in Flickering Darkness by RelevanzEnsemble's own Peter Højby Morrison.
The concert ends in total darkness with From My Life by Bedřich Smetana, a personal and intimate work written shortly after the composer lost his hearing.
