5. Lord's Supper and Heavenly Bodies
The Bochum Symphony Orchestra commissions two or three compositions each year. This season, one of them is "Il Cenacolo" by the Bochum composer Stefan Heucke . Heucke, with whom the orchestra has worked on and off for many years, was inspired to create this work by looking at Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper": "The great unity of the mural at first glance (almost everyone has the painting in their mind's eye in large) made me spontaneously think of the solo cello and 12 violins - a sonically extremely homogeneous line-up that, however, allows for the possibility of multi-coloured differentiation in detail."

9. Virtuos
“Nixon in China” was the first opera in the spirit of minimal music in 1987. Its composer John Adams, however, prefers to call himself a “maximalist” because he combines “minimalist” stylistic devices with many other things. He also used elements from his opera for the orchestral foxtrot “The Chairman Dances”. In the composer’s imagination, the Great Chairman Mao Zedong emerges from a picture portrait and dances several foxtrots with his wife – back to their shared past. Hollywood nostalgia is charmingly combined with insistent motor skills and a large percussion apparatus.
