Orchestra lunch concert with Paavo Järvi by Thorvaldsdottir, Stravinsky, From (2024/2024), Conductor Paavo Järvi, Tonhalle Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland

The music of our Creative Chair Anna Thorwaldsdottir evokes a "primeval landscape", wrote one critic after the premiere of her orchestral work "Archora". Stravinsky's "Firebird" suite, on the other hand, tells of princes and princesses, of an evil magician and a good magical bird. What both works have in common is that they have developed their very own, powerful musical language – and elicit almost scenic sounds from the orchestra.
