About the Concert
The breath plays a central role for wind players. For clarinettist Annelien van Wauve, all the more so because she is also a passionate yoga devotee. At the beginning of the Corona pandemic, she had the idea of combining her two passions and commissioning a composition for yoga and music. The result is "Sutras" for basset clarinet and orchestra, in which the mantras typical of yoga are taken over by the orchestra and soloist - an unusual invitation to focus and perceive music in a completely different way.
Bruckner's first symphonic work was also something quite different and new. Different from everything he had written for church use until then. And as new as the chords in Richard Wagner's "Tristan", which was also written at this time. Unheard and unheard, so to speak. In any case, a milestone in music history and already entirely in the Bruckner "sound" that his fans love so much.
