Ruby Hughes. Manchester Collective End of My Days

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 17:00
Ruby Hughes (Soprano), Manchester Collective (Streichquartett)
Soprano Ruby Hughes commented on her program "End of My Days," created with the Manchester Collective during the first COVID-19 lockdown: "Music always has the potential to speak to us, to comfort us, and to help us feel understood." The program's songs by John Dowland, Claude Debussy, Gustav Mahler, and other composers, including contemporary ones, empathetically explore themes of love, loss, and separation. Mahler's "Urlicht" conveys the confidence that we will return to where we came from when we enter eternity. The title song by Errollyn Wallen embraces death and celebrates life.

Reverie and Rapture

Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 19:00
Musica Vitae, Hugo Ticciati (Leader), Hugo Ticciati (Violin soloist), Daniel Eklund (Viola), Mika Takehara (Percussion)
Växjö-based Musica Vitae joins us accompanied by the British violinist and conductor Hugo Ticciati, who is active in Sweden. He founded the O/Modernt festival in 2011, known for its innovative and cross-genre programming, which also characterizes his concert with Musica Vitae.The first part of the concert presents music infused with religious reverie. We hear the mysticism of Hildegard of Bingen in Vos flores rosarum and wordless violin song in Arvo Pärt's Fratres. Additionally, two meditations on the theme of the suffering mother: John Tavener's Mother of God, Here I Stand from The Veil of the Temple, and Lera Auerbach's Sogno di Stabat Mater (Dream of Stabat Mater). After the interval, the mood shifts from spiritual contemplation to exalted rapture. In the enigmatically dancing Aksak and Ciphers, Swedish composer Albert Schnelzer has encoded both Brahms and family members in the score. This is followed by a musical dialogue between Philip Glass’s Baroque-inspired Symphony No. 3 and arrangements of songs from the grunge rock band Nirvana’s iconic album Nevermind, and even a shivering spirit by the Baroque master Henry Purcell makes an appearance.
