Gold Is Forever
Quality music can withstand anything. You can tear and wear it, twist and turn it, take all kinds of liberties with the original, and the quality still shines through.
About the concert
What happens when we look at the old and the established with new eyes? How can the old inspire and shape the new?
This concert is filled with both composers and musicians who play with old works, but also with musical concepts. POING transforms Grieg through saxophone, accordion and double bass. Errollyn Wallen deconstructs boogie-woogie for violin, while Hindemith challenges what chamber music could be.
But one thing is certain: gold lasts forever, because quality can withstand anything.
