Strings, percussion & celesta - Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen & Ruth Reinhardt

The lighting design by Robbrecht and Daem architects also makes a journey from dark to light During Easter time, the passion story invites reflection. Met Ruth Reinhardt at the helm and the young soloists from the Muziekkapel Koningin Elisabeth by her side, Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen explores suffering and redemption, light and dark. In ‘Symphony no. 49’, nicknamed ‘La Passione’, Haydn seeks more depth, expression, and emotional intensity with a lot of Sturm und Drang. Bartók then brings you into a magical, nocturnal atmosphere. His daring sound world alternates folkloric rhythms with strict structures like the Fibonacci sequence. Robbrecht and Daem architects translate the program into a lighting design that makes the play from dark to light explicit.
