“Such a compact entity, and yet we are in cosmic dimensions!” is how Jukka-Pekka Saraste sums up the wonder that is Sibelius's Fourth Symphony. The performance concludes the HPO's two-season Sibelius cycle. Sebastian Fagerlund is inspired by the symphony orchestra. He wants to compose music in which “everyone has something interesting to play and instrument groups communicate with each other.” In his composition Drifts, the orchestra is like a slow-moving stream that shapes sandbars and other changing forms.
Yes, but only before or after the concert. During the concert we just want you to enjoy the music. This way you won’t disturb the musicians or other audience members.
Only the orchestra has a dress code. You can dress as you like.
