Anna Thorvaldsdottir – CATAMORPHOSIS (world premiere)

Josef Suk – Pohádka léta ("A Summer’s Tale"), Op. 29
On Friday, January 29, 2021, the Berlin Philharmonic will perform the world premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s highly anticipated new orchestral work, CATAMORPHOSIS, conducted by Kirill Petrenko. A further testament to Thorvaldsdottir’s “confident and distinctive handling of the orchestra” (Gramophone) and the often “cosmic scale” (The New York Times) of her music, CATAMORPHOSIS is an imposing meditation on the fragile relationship we have to our planet. The title, in the composer’s own words, “refers both to the fact that if things do not change it is going to be too late, risking utter destruction – catastrophe - and to the way the core of the work is driven by the shift and pull between various polar forces – power and fragility, hope and despair, preservation and destruction.”
The livestream will take place at 8pm Central European / 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific.
