5/6 Oct 2018
edition 49
Gubaidulina Festival
Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina (1931) is one of the most remarkable voices in contemporary music. Her music is distinctly original, steeped in religion, crystal clear and ultra-precise.
The New European Ensemble invited her to The Hague for a retrospective of her work. On 5 and 6 October 2018 the New European Ensemble, Residentie Orkest The Hague, and students of the Royal Conservatoire play a selection from her oeuvre, from early atonal compositions she wrote in the Soviet era to music she wrote only recently.
