Arriving in good time
During the festive season in December, traffic tends to get heavily congested in Ljubljana. Visitors are advised to leave home earlier than usual to avoid arriving late.
Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Matthias Hermann
Program:
Vito Žuraj: Api-danza macabra
Carola Bauckholt: In the Eye of Sound
Helmut Lachenmann: My Melodies
Currently one of Slovenia’s young composers with the highest international visibility, Vito Žuraj’s works are performed by some of the world's most renowned orchestras. The composition Api-danza macabra, which here receives its Slovenian premiere, is a tribute to the sounds of insects and bees, and a unique re-imagining of Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Carola Bauckholt is a highly praised award-winning composer. Her composition In the Eye of Sound opens several levels of listening: together with the orchestra, the composer seeks to recreate a distinctive deep sound space that aestheticizes seemingly wholly irrelevant sounds of our everyday soundscape.
Helmut Lachenmann ranks among both the greatest living composers and those seminal musicians whose aesthetic ideas and compositions have sent ripples through the contemporary music scene. The symphonic poem My Melodies took nine years in the making. Written for eight horns and an orchestra, the composition is one of Lachenmann’s greatest orchestral works. The extensive epic structure, unparalleled orchestral sounds and textures make it one of the most important 21st-century compositions.
The audience is cordially invited to join us for a post-concert talk with the composers and musicians.
