The sea, wind and forces of nature take centre stage in this concert.
Takemitsu's poetic How Slow the Wind opens with floating tranquillity, before Hosokawa's Prayer – receiving its Nordic premiere – invites contemplation and reflection.
Sibelius' atmospheric Oceanides leads into Debussy's masterpiece La mer, a musical portrayal of the sea's shifting movements, light and forces.
