SIGNALS FROM HEAVEN
What does music from heaven sound like? The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s brilliant brass and percussion musicians are centre stage in a concert where André Jolivet’s Fanfares pour Britannicus from 1946 meets Tōru Takemitsu’s dreamily poetic Signals from Heaven. The concert is crowned by Aaron Copland’s fanfare, written for the centenary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Richard Strauss’ effervescent fanfare dedicated to the Vienna Philharmonic – all led by conductor Andreas Hanson.
The concert will be broadcasted on Berwaldhallen Play and on the Swedish Radio P2 May 7 at 7 pm.
