About this event

Imagine a symphony that takes everything a symphony has been and everything a symphony could be: an orchestral showpiece that鈥檚 simultaneously a protest, a celebration, and a postmodern prank from the heart of 1960s counterculture. Berio鈥檚 Sinfonia is the climax to a day-long immersion in the music of postwar Italy.

But as we鈥檝e heard, it鈥檚 just part of a far bigger 鈥� and even more gripping - story. Bristling, brilliant sonic adventures by Dallapiccola, by former 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra guest conductor Bruno Maderna and by the far-left maverick Luigi Nono pave the way to Berio鈥檚 modern classic: outsize creative personalities who set out to remake the world, and left a legacy of music that continues to outrage, astonish and enchant.
