The Big Bang with Ensemble Midtvest

Description

In the beginning there was chaos, or so it is told. At this concert Ensemble MidtVest creates in music a picture of the history of time and space, from Before the Big Bang via explosion, stardust and the formation of the earth to the sounds of life, evolution and the end of the universe. Programme: John Cage / 4'33" (1952) Jean-Féry Rebel / Le Cahos (1737), for flute, clarinet, violin and cello Per Nørgård / Spell (1973), for clarinet, cello and piano Olivier Messiaen / Quartet for the End of Time (1941), 1st movement George Crumb / Vox Balaenae (1971), for flute, cello and piano Kaija Saariaho / Cendres (1998), for alto flute, cello and piano Arvo Pärt / Spiegel im Spiegel (1978), for cello and piano
