NOW 3: A Journey Through Time

Programme:
Maurice Ravel, Couperinov nagrobnik
George Benjamin: Palimpsests
Conlon Nancarrow (transcr. Yvar Mikhashoff, Charles Schwobel): Study No. 7
Igor Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements 

English composer George Benjamin found inspiration for the central work of the concert in musical palimpsests. In his case, it involved a book in which various musical notations had been scratched out and removed in order to use the book for new notations. In a symbolic sense, we will thus be able to listen to music written in the same place in the same book at different times. The work was first performed by the London Symphony Orchestra in London in 2002 under the baton of Pierre Boulez.
