World premiere of Ørjan Matres new piece, and we get to know the two female composers Jamilia Jazylbekova and Farangis Nurulla-Khoja.
Three young composers draw connections between Europe and Asia in this concert with Oslo Sinfonietta. Each of them will take turns in exemplifying their cross-culture encounters and experiences, almost as if they had followed the ancient Silk Road. Tajikistani Farangis Nurulla-Khoja’s new saxophone concert, written for Rolf-Erik Nystrøm, will be performed. Jamilia Jazylbekova is from Kazakhstan, and studied both song and flute in her home country before continuing her composition studies in Moscow and Germany. In 2008, Ørjan Matre took a train journey through Europe across the Balkans to Istanbul. The impressions he gained from the shifting cultural landscape have influenced this work.

Ravishi Nur (to my Father) Cometh the light
The piece is an exploration of the potential to blur the boundaries between perception and illusion. This composition is partly inspired by the notion that the purpose of music is to mend a breach in the world, where sound is without form, without structure, without presence.
