First performance!
The Göteborg Opera is delighted to present a new piece by Gothenburg based composer Lei Feng Johansson; String Quartet no. 3. Her compositions vary from solo instruments to orchestral works and combine western contemporary music and Chinese traditional folk music. Lei Feng Johansson’s music have been performed in both Asia and Europe.
American-British composer David Bruce’s Cymbeline for mandolin and string quartet is a tribute to the Celtic Lord of the Sun. In this chamber concert, you’ll hear the de first and last movement, symbolizing the sunrise and sunset. The composer himself describes the piece: “I see the piece as a contemplation of our relationship with this fiery giver of life, whose significance to us is often overlooked in the modern world, but who still really does rule over us all.”
