Boglárka Pecze (Clarinet), Kathrin Zukowski (Soprano), Thomas Loibl (Actor), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Christian Karlsen (Conductor), Kornelia Bittmann (Presentation)
Writer Händl Klaus and composer Hèctor Parra present "A Song of the Earth" for our time. Olivia and Bruno journey through a desolate landscape, their sung and spoken words forming a dialogue about loss, love, and life. Kaija Saariaho's clarinet concerto, inspired by medieval tapestries, features a soloist who metaphorically "walks" through the concert hall. The WDR will broadcast the concert on June 3, 2025, with online availability for 30 days thereafter.
