Harmonien Chamber Series: Sæverud & Shostakovich

Universitetsaulaen

34-årige Camille Pépin, som befinner seg i krysningen mellom impresjonisme og amerikansk minimalisme, løftes frem som en av Frankrikes — om ikke Europas — mest spennende og aktuelle komponister akkurat nå. I verket Chamber Music, en sekstett skrevet for strykere, horn, klarinett, piano og mezzosopran, tas vi med på en symfonisk reise inn i diktene til irske James Joyce. En suggererende musikalsk verden som er like vakker og dypt rørende som den er fascinerende.
