Music that has left traces
The title of the concert refers to a quote by Hippocrates and roughly means “Art is long, life short”. The theme of the concert is “music we love and that has left traces in our hearts”, and the repertoire will consist of works that the musicians have handpicked based on these criteria, mixed with music that the audience has been allowed to wish. Further down is the full concert program presented.
