In 2015 the world celebrates the 330th anniversary of the birth of\u00a0Johann Sebastian Bach<\/span>. This year will also see the 80th birthday of one of the most performed contemporary composers,\u00a0Arvo P\u00e4rt<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Transcendent, spiritual, otherworldly and soothing<\/em>\u00a0are words that jump to mind when describing Part’s accessible music. We could use the same terms while speaking of Johann Sebastian Bach’s works.<\/p>\n

It is said that the Estonian composer is the\u00a0Bach of our century<\/span>. P\u00e4rt believes that we have a universal longing for space and the Divine state. The simplicity of P\u00e4rt’s music on the surface belies the effort it takes to achieve that peaceful quality in performance. Many of P\u00e4rt’s pieces are settings of religious texts, and even the instrumental works bear a whiff of church incense. Yet the compositions resonate profoundly for the unconverted as well as the faithful. It is music that reveals itself gradually, with a harmonic stillness that conjures up an alternative to hectic everyday existence.<\/p>\n

Bach’s timeless orchestral compositions are of unique purity, and his work has been of great influence on composers for many generations until today.<\/p>\n

With this program symphoniaASSAI presents a beautiful program with music for strings together with soloists\u00a0Fien Van den Fonteyne<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Floris Willem<\/span>. Works that were written in different centuries, but that share a fascinating resemblance in philosophy, inspiration and aesthetics. The union of Johann Sebastian Bach’s and Arvo P\u00e4rt’s universes offers a great performance opportunity where interiority and virtuosity come together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
