About this event
In this epic programme, the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra returns to Snape Maltings Concert Hall to perform Mahler鈥檚 Symphony No.1 and the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir鈥檚 础滨艑狈, an electrifying exploration of time.
An incredible chance to experience the first UK performance of Anna Thorvaldsdottir鈥檚 础滨艑狈, a symphonic-scale orchestral work in three movements: Morphosis, Transcension, and Entropia.
Thorvalsdottir explains: 鈥湸”跖尡 is inspired by the abstract metaphor of being able to move freely in time, of being able to explore time as a space that you inhabit rather than experiencing it as a one-directional journey through a single dimension. It is a reflection on how we relate to our lives, to the ecosystem, and to our place in the broader scheme of things. Characterized by an embracing and resilient energy, combining strength, tenderness and hope, 础滨艑狈 evokes both the ancient and things to come, seeking refuge in the possibilities of resurrection, of rebuilding ourselves.鈥
础滨艑狈 is paired with Mahler鈥檚 sprawling Symphony No.1. Using a huge canvas, the composer examines creation and the beginnings of time, juxtaposing heaven and hell.
