Biennale »Paradise Lost?« Marin Alsop dirigiert Naturbilder

Nature, its beauty, its endangerment: These are the themes of our Biennale and of this concert, which takes us around the world. It begins with a new work by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen, whose work is strongly inspired by her native Lapland. Brett Dean’s Fire Music in turn refers to a devastating bushfire in Australia in 2009.


Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring takes the audience on to North America, while Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Chôros No. 10 echoes the birdsong of the Amazon.

Marin Alsop makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
