Nordic Swans, Swan Lake meets Freddie Mercury
Saturday 7 September 2024 20:00
Salle Omnisports du Pierrier, Clarens
Kristjan Järvi, conductor
Nordic Pulse
The BSP orchestra, led by the innovative Kristjan Järvi, transcends the traditional boundaries of classical music. The musicians perform from memory, giving them more freedom to move. As a group, they create an apotheosis of the senses: the concert becomes an extraordinary physical, visual and aural experience. The beauty and mystery of the swan, a symbolic figure in Nordic culture, are celebrated through spellbinding musical highlights from Sibelius, Grieg, and even Freddie Mercury, to whom a special tribute will be paid on his birthday.
