FESTIVAL CLOSING CONCERT 2019:

IMAGINARY ALIEN XI

IMAGINARY ALIENS

JULY 28TH, 18.00 AT Järna Festival Academy

- - - - -

The festival’s closing concert has a more poetic twist than previous concerts in the series. Instead of highlighting our differences, it focuses on what holds us together and praises the empathy that binds us in brotherhood and understanding.

Die Moldau summarises the melodic red thread which we have woven through the festival, linking cultures, nationalities and ages.

The title of Arvo Pärts meditative masterpiece Fratres translates to brothers, and the music brings to life for us two separate entities which gradually move towards one another.

Until Nothing Left for solo accordion is a spectacular work that subtly breaks down the boundary between performer and public, as a way to change our empathic sphere.

In the festival’s finishing work, we meet Ethel Smyth, one of the driving forces of the Woman’s suffrage movement in England.

Smyth was a true renaissance woman: composer, writer, inspirer, activist, and more. Here we meet her in the magnificent String Quintet in E-flat major, a work which at its inception in 1884 was not considered suitable for a female composer due to its powerful and “masculine” qualities. But as it turns out, it works perfectly as our festival finale!

PROGRAM:

Bedřich Smetana – Die Moldau (transcribed for four hand piano by the composer)

Arvo Pärt – Fratres for violin and piano

Niels Rönsholdt – Until Nothing Left

Ethel Smyth – String Quintet op. 1

An Introduction to Worst of Emil&Peter, Chamber Music Redefined

🐦 UNRELATED BIRDS! 🐦

Clarinetist Emil Jonason and his comrade in arms, Peter Friis Johansson, pianist (co-founder of Järna Festival Academy), have been performing together for more than half of their lives. Their musicality and innovative shows have brought them to Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Folkets Hus in Söderhamn and beyond.

UNRELATED BIRDS is about how little we know about life in the skies, and how much us humans aspire to make music that soars over the clouds. Philip Glass’ music based on ice cold math illuminates the massive power of nuclear weapons and Paquito D’Rivera’s Cuban clarinet sonata irresistibly ignites our hearts to dance and love.

Aaron Copland’s songs with Emily Dickinson’s lyrics show the extraordinary multifaceted soul of the basset clarinet, Magnus Pålsson’s theme from VVVVVV hopes for a bright future among the stars, and the music by John Cage makes UNRELATED BIRDS a show like no other.

When Rebecka Törnqvist released her eleventh album, it was hailed as her best to date. The subsequent tour received rave reviews; “.. musical magic” (SvD), “.. involuntary and atmospheric” (UNT) and “.. melancholy and charged”.

Rebecka Törnqvist sees herself more as a musician and composer than as an performer and throughout her career she has worked with musicians who belong to the country’s finest.

The band that joins Rebecka in Järna is definitively no exception and we also look forward to her collaboration with several of the festival’s other artists. This evening’s music will be both original compositions, some of which were also heard at the concert “Junkmail” at Dramaten last year, and songs by other favourites such as Randy Newman and Kurt Weill.
