WORLD PREMIERE OF ‘LANDMARK’ BY CHARLOTTE BRAY PERFORMED BY DRESDNER SINFONIKER

30/9/2022

On 3 October, Charlotte Bray’s new orchestral work Landmark, receives its world premiere from Dresdner Sinfoniker. The work is conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer and performed at Dresdner Philharmonie.

Landmark was commissioned by Dresdner Sinfoniker on the occasion of German reunification. With a mixture of music and theatre, the Dresdner Sinfoniker go on a journey through time with actors and the audience on the Day of German Unity.

The concert also includes Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, and a commissioned work by Markus Lehmann-Horn entitled Utopian Melodies (yelling at me).

“As a contribution to the occasion, however small, I wanted to reflect these feelings in this new work, ‘Landmark’. That formidable, fearsome and divisive wall has fallen, hammered and chipped away – physically and metaphorically. Sadly, as German society coalesces and consolidates steadily, an underlying sadness, engendered by increasing division and alienation, besets our world.”
