On 28 September, In an Eternal Dusk by Charlotte Bray premieres at Kölner Philharmonie with Áron Horváth on cimbalom. This 10-minute work, written for solo cimbalom, is commissioned by Müpa Budapest, Philharmonie Luxembourg and the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO).

Charlotte Bray explains that the ​“title and much of the inspiration for this solo cimbalom piece is taken from Sholeh Wolpé’s excellent translation of Forugh Farrokhzad’s poem. The music is gentle and expressive, ​“distant sounds” moving freely ​“unfixed and vagrant like a drifting breeze”. It is intricate, often hearing two ​‘voices’ – doves, in the poem – ​“crossing in the wind”. Introverted and shadowy, we are isolated in an internal world, caught between day and night – an onerous, mysterious ​“strange land”.”
