Programme: Sibelius Andante Festivo, Nigel Osborne Forest-River-Ocean, Tchaikovsky Serenade

The music of Sibelius and Tchaikowsky, powerfully evoking their respective northern European homelands, provides a perfect frame for Osborne’s work, which captures the elemental music of the ancient Carnyx and the sounds of nature that must have surrounded the instrument’s place of burial 2,000 years ago in northern Scotland.

Liquid Architecture and Frozen Music

Speaker

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the great German writer, statesman and natural philosopher, once said that “Music is liquid architecture; Architecture is frozen music”: his idea suggests that all processes of creation and invention are connected by a human’s need to express something.

Mahler’s Houses and Composing Huts

Prof. Rui Vieira Nery  . speaker

The idea of Home – local roots and a sense of place – pervades much of Gustav Mahler’s music. The houses he chose to inhabit and the huts he built in which to compose provided vital context and inspiration for his works.

Joana Carneiro . conductor

Programme: Mahler Adagietto from Symphony no. 5, Mahler Symphony no. 4

The starting point of Mahler’s Symphony no. 4 was a song he had originally composed from a German collection of folk poetry, Des Knaben Wunderhorn, which was a source of inspiration for all his early symphonies. His setting of Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly Life) became the final movement of his 4th and, only after he had made his home in Maiernigg (Austria) and begun to write in his nearby ‘composing hut’, he was finally able to complete this symphony. The famous Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony no. 5, a musical love letter to Alma, his new bride, was also composed at his hut in Maiernigg.
