Nordic Music Days - Chaos String Quartet
The Vienna-based Chaos String Quartet, BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for 2024-25, are fast establishing themselves as one of Europe’s leading quartets. In their first visit to Scotland they are joined by soprano Stephanie Lamprea and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Double Bass, Kai Kim, for the UK premiere of a new work from Greenland’s Arnannguaq Gerstrøm, commissioned by Nordic Music Days in partnership with ISCM World Music Days Faroe Islands.
Danish composer Sandra Boss adds the influence of a pop music staple – the E-Bow – to her piece, and Leevi Räsänen evokes unhappy childhood memories in his. The late Kaija Saariaho’s second quartet, Terra Memoriam, completes the programme.
Sandra Boss (Denmark): ÆTER
Leevi Räsänen (Finland): the two childhoods
Arnnaguaq Gerstrøm (Greenland): New Commission
Kaija Saariaho (Finland): Terra Memoriam
