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."
