A Melodious Evening of Classics and World Premieres<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The evening begins with Arvo P\u00e4rt\u2019s *Fratres*<\/em>, arranged for string orchestra and percussion. The work is one of P\u00e4rt\u2019s most iconic and represents one of the first clear expressions of his self-developed compositional principle, tintinnabuli\u2014a musical language that has become strongly associated with his personal approach to sound and that rarely leaves anyone unmoved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musical journey continues into the present day as a large cell phone orchestra takes the stage. On stage, we encounter virtuosos on this new instrument\u2014a large youth ensemble performing two works by Lind\u2014first in collaboration with a percussion trio and then in dialogue with the Norrlandsoperan\u2019s woodwind and brass sections. Lind, who describes the cell phone orchestra as a new electronic instrumental group within the traditional orchestra, performs himself on an analog synthesizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the intermission, the entire Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra takes the stage. Ravel\u2019s *Bol\u00e9ro*<\/em> \u2014known for its ingenious orchestration and hypnotic repetition of a melody that few can resist\u2014opens the second act. Although the work is over a century old, it still feels just as fresh and fascinating in the way it gradually reveals the orchestra\u2019s full range of colors. In this arrangement, *Bolero*<\/em> also takes on a contemporary sonic touch: saxophones, celesta, and harp have been replaced by Lind in favor of electronic sounds, performed by a \u201ccell phone orchestra\u201d and an analog synthesizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening concludes with the world premiere of a new work by Lind for symphony orchestra, cell phone orchestra, and analog synthesizer. This piece explores the relationship between the soundscape of the symphonic tradition and the possibilities of electronics\u2014electronically generated sounds, combined with recorded and processed sounds from the traditional orchestra, create new soundscapes in collaboration with the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert marks the finale of the three-year MAXAT project, which the Norrlands Opera has carried out in close collaboration with Anders Lind and his mobile phone orchestra concept, with support from the Swedish Arts Council and in partnership with Ume\u00e5 University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
