  • A Tale of Four Cities: 3. London

    A Tale of Four Cities: 3. London

    In London, where Charles Dickens once wrote A Tale of Two Cities, we find the starkest of contrasts. 

    After landing at the busy Heathrow, we’ll be received by the genial and sharp-witted Oliver Knussen who immediately gets the listeners’ attention with his ingenious pieces. The public and medial Thomas Adès lends the concert a continental character, and a cool work by Swedish Albert Schnelzer is also presented: Wolfgang is Dancing! We can guess who it’s about; he evidently knew a thing or two about dancing as well!

  • A Tale of Four Cities: 2. Paris

    A Tale of Four Cities: 2. Paris

    Gageego!s journey across Europe moves on: next stop is Paris – the artistic metropole par preference where composers from around the world spreads out along the vast boulevards.

    We’ll meet iconic Gerard Grisey’s brilliant tonal spectra, the impressionistic sounds of Karen Tanaka and get a first performance by a piece by Klas Torstensson, inspired by his visits to IRCAM in Paris many years ago. And much more.
