Elysium

Canadian composer Samy Moussa, based in Berlin, dedicated an orchestral work to "Elysium" in 2021, premiered by the Vienna Philharmonic in Barcelona's Sagrada Familia. The hr-Symphony Orchestra, led by Manfred Honeck, will perform the German premiere. Reaching Elysium demands earthly struggles, like those in Beethoven's 7th Symphony. Meanwhile, the soloist in Shostakovich's Cello Concerto 1 navigates a world of masks and facades, far from Elysium's light.
