ABOUT THIS EVENT

John Luther Adams
(*1953)

Canticles of the Sky

Igor Stravinsky
(1882–1971)

Eight Instrumental Miniatures

Silvestre Revueltas
(1899–1940)

Ocho por Radio, R. 34

Ludwig van Beethoven
(1770–1827)

Symphony No. 7 in A major, op. 92

In the second project of the season, the Bernese percussionist Julian Sartorius (winner of the Canton of Bern Music Prize, among others) and the Bern-based conductor Droujelub Yanakiew, together with Svetlana Maraš (Professor of the Electronic Studio at the University of Music FHNW, Basel), create a 90-minute overall experience in a way that has never been heard before Composition. Originally planned as a project with Fredy Studer (1948–2022) and Julian Sartorius in 2022, it had to be redesigned due to the unexpected death of Fredy Studer.

The evening's basis is Beethoven's 7th Symphony with its rhythmic elements. This is complemented by other works and improvised and composed music by Julian Sartorius and Svetlana Maraš. Recordings by Fredy Studer round off the concept.
