Roskilde: Challenging classical sounds
Rhythmical music is obviously the main player at Roskilde Festival. However, in 2008 we would like to offer the audience a break from electric guitars and drum machines and offer a selection of classical music.
THE TIVOLI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (DK) stands ready to serve fresh and challenging music. Focus is on the 20th century - from the sprouting and colourful sounds by Sjostakovitj and Stravinsky to the minimalistic meditations by Arvo Pärt.
Two young musicians lead the 80 man strong Tivoli Symphony Orchestra.
27-year-old Alexander Shelley conducts. He has for a number of years visited The Tivoli Concert Hall with his conceptual concerts called "440 Hz". Here he gives the audience treats from the classical symphonic compositions with special emphasis on modern music.
Shelley shares the stage with 32-year-old cellist Daniel Müller-Schott who, like Shelley, enjoys performances in front of a younger audience.
The Roskilde concert presents the following compositions:
* Sjostakovitj: 2nd movement from Symphony No. 10
* Sjostakovitj: Cello Concerto No. 1
* Bernstein: "Prologue" from West Side Story Symphonic Dances
* Pärt: Fratres
* Britten: "Storm" from 4 Sea Interludes (Peter Grimes)
* Stravinsky: "Infernal Dance", "Berceuse" & "Finale" fra The Firebird (1919 version)
Show up and expand your own repertoire with these distinctive and enriching sounds.
