Symphony No. 1

Approved

n this epic programme, the BBC Symphony Orchestra returns to Snape Maltings Concert Hall to perform Mahler’s Symphony No.1 and the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s AIŌN, an electrifying exploration of time.

An incredible chance to experience the first UK performance of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s AIŌN, a symphonic-scale orchestral work in three movements: Morphosis, Transcension, and Entropia.

Thorvalsdottir explains: “AIŌN 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, AIŌN evokes both the ancient and things to come, seeking refuge in the possibilities of resurrection, of rebuilding ourselves.”

AIŌN is paired with Mahler’s sprawling Symphony No.1. Using a huge canvas, the composer examines creation and the beginnings of time, juxtaposing heaven and hell.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra is led by guest conductor Eva Ollikainen, the Artistic Leader and Chief Conductor of Iceland Symphony Orchestra.
