SOLAR HARMONY
Saariaho employs beautiful imagery to describe her composition 'Solar': the underlying idea shines like a resounding celestial body that continually pulls harmony back to its starting point, as if the music follows the laws of gravity. In 'Amers' (French for navigation points at sea), she portrays the image of a sailboat trying to maintain its course despite the waves. The world premiere of Annelies Van Parys' composition adds a contemporary star to this sparkling concert.
