The performance is built around Jean Sibelius’s string quartet Voces Intimae, but also features music from Beethoven to Saariaho. At the time of composing the piece, a throat tumor caused Sibelius to fear death. The performance takes this as its starting point.
Audience comments:
“Magnificent, sacred, and funny!”
“Voces showed how music can take the mind deep within itself. A brilliant combination of clowns and chamber music carried the audience along.”
“Red Nose Company entertains and surprises! Astonishingly refined and fearless – such versatile art!”
