The Tapestry of Life

Before his great symphonies, Gustav Mahler immersed himself wholeheartedly in German folk poetry. From love and death to angels and unfortunate events, the songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn encompass the entire spectrum of life.

At the height of his popularity, Richard Strauss embraced the role of a great man by creating tone poems drawn from the experiences of his life. Following heroic depictions of conquest, he composed Sinfonia Domestica, a family portrait reflecting serene domestic life. Before Strauss, no one knew how resplendently everyday conversations could resonate when performed by a symphony orchestra.

Magnificent music demands extraordinary forces. Oulu Sinfonia will be joined by the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra with their Chief Conductor Eugene Tzigane.

Head start at Restaurant Preludi at 18:00.
