Lahti Symphony Orchestra: Dalias Mixtape #2 feat. Leila Josefowicz

DALIA STASEVSKA, conductor
LEILA JOSEFOWICZ, violin

Karl Hartmann: Concerto funèbre for violin and string orchestra
Thomas Adès: Violin Concerto ‘Concentric Paths’
Helen Grime: Violin Concerto

Leila Josefowicz, who specializes in contemporary music, has her work cut out playing three concertos in one concert. In Helen Grime’s piece, restless and dreamy elements are in unending conflict; in Thomas Adès’s concerto the magical atmosphere goes into a tailspin towards the unknown. These extremes of the emotional scale are complemented by Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Concerto funèbre, which was written on the eve of World War II as a final spark of intellectuality and spirituality. The ‘Dalia’s Mixtape’ concert series, familiar from last season, will once again thrill orchestra and audience alike!

Duration: approx. 2 hours, includes intermission.

Produced by Lahti Symphony Orchestra.
