ABOUT THIS EVENT

NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic and the NFM Choir plunge into two parts of John Luther Adams' Become cycle. The choir and orchestra of the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw, Poland, present these works as a special immersive experience. DE SINGEL’s Blue Hall will be fitted with three additional stages. On them, the choir and the orchestra will surround the audience. In the midst of the sound that will be coming at you from all sides, you will experience Adams’ music even more intensely, and it will literally become a living landscape. Exactly as Adams intended. After all, in most of his works the American composer transforms the landscape into sound, structure and music. Adams wrote Become Desert for choir and orchestra after leaving Alaska for the solitude of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico.

John Luther Adams inspires us not only to listen more attentively, but to be more aware of the world in which we live. This … book … should not only be on the shelves of everyone interested in the music of our time but also anyone interested in being alive. -
