Klas Torstensson - Sieben mal sieben

The New European Ensemble presents the world premiere of Sieben mal sieben, a new work by Klas Torstensson written especially for the ensemble.

His piece is a colourful tribute to Arnold Schönberg’s Serenade, written for the same seven instruments: clarinet, bass clarinet, violin, viola, cello, guitar and mandolin. Torstensson is one of the Netherlands' most prominent composers. In the press reviews his compositions are called 'spectacular', 'impressive' and 'stunningly beautiful'.

Willem Jeths' Symphony nr. 1

With the imminent premiere of Jeths' first symphony, it is reasonable to take a brief look into the piece's structure.

Movements II and III are based on two former works, Scale - 'le tombeau de Mahler'- and Metanoia, while the first and last movements draw inspiration from two poems by J. W. Goethe: Unbegrenzt (part I) and Selige Sehnsucht (part IV), taken from the poem cycle West-Östlicher Divan (1827).

The symphony will be premiered by mezzo-soprano Karin Strobos and The Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Edo de Waart.
