AFA goes to: Dies Irae – Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Vox Luminis & Aurora Orchestra’
This event is over.
What answers can classical music offer to today’s major social and environmental issues? How can a musician respond? Patricia Kopatchinskaja describes her Dies irae as “a play without a plot, intended as an assault on the senses.” It’s a caustic indictment of bellicosity and the ongoing climate crisis. Kopatchinskaja transports you from Battalia à 10 in D, Heinrich Biber’s baroque evocation of war, to Black Angels by George Crumb – an iconic composition criticising the Vietnam War. She concludes with Galina Ustvolskaya’s devastating Dies irae, in which Kopatchinskaja herself plays percussion.
