From a tranquil dawn to magnificent intensity<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In Lil Lacy\u2019s *Aur\u014dra*, a <\/em>work from 2023, we encounter a soundscape that emerges from stillness: muffled, dark tones that slowly give way to a sense of light breaking through. The piece moves between the meditative and the expansive, capturing the moment when night turns to day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is Beethoven\u2019s Violin Concerto in D major<\/em>, one of classical music\u2019s most beloved works. Next up is Shostakovich\u2019s Symphony No. 1<\/em>, composed as his graduation project when the composer was just nineteen years old. What does it sound like? Youthful, energetic, and full of intensity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight\u2019s soloist, violinist Ava Bahari (born 1996), has established herself as one of the most expressive musicians of her generation. She grew up in Gothenburg and studied at institutions including the Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A season opener where the new meets the familiar. The program also serves as a prelude to the Beethoven Year 2027, when the 200th anniversary of the composer\u2019s death will be commemorated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
