BERLIN, (Pakistan Point News - 07th Nov, 2018) The Baltic Sea Philharmonic will give its first ever concerts in the middle East this November, presenting its revolutionary ‘Waterworks’ programme – a new dimension to experience music – in collaboration Sunbeam Productions on a tour of the UAE.
Kristjan Jarvi will conduct the orchestra in performances at Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace on 11th November and the Dubai Opera on 14th November. The tour marks the climax of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic’s landmark tenth-anniversary year, and will be the orchestra’s first tour outside Europe.
Water, in the form of the Baltic Sea, is at the heart of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic’s identity, connecting the ten Nordic countries from where the orchestra draws its musicians and inspiration. The ensemble has always been connected to nature and the environment, and ‘Waterworks’ celebrates water in all its forms.
Kristjan Jarvi, the orchestra’s Founding Conductor and Music Director, said, "Water is the essence of life and the binding force for all humanity. The Baltic Sea is the engine of our region, but it also connects us to all the other waters of the world." The ‘Waterworks’ programme features music directly inspired by water: a unique version of Handel’s spectacular Water Music and a new orchestration of Philip Glass’s Aguas da Amazonia. The programme also includes another work by Glass that takes its inspiration from nature – his Violin Concerto No. 2 ‘The American Four Seasons’.
The concert tour of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic to the UAE is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development.
