If all participants stay healthy, it now looks like it will be the premiere of Karin Rehnqvist<\/strong>‘s work Silent Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first premiere would have taken place in Amsterdam in early spring 2020. The pandemi blocked this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the NTR ZaterdagMatinee<\/strong> (the Dutch equivalent of BBC Proms) is making a new attempt and has January 29, 2022 as its first public performance of Rehnqvist’s work. The concert takes place in Concertgebouw<\/strong>. A half-hour long work composed for mixed choir and orchestra, with poems by Kerstin Perski<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent Earth<\/em> is composed for Groot Omroepkoor<\/strong> (Dutch Radio Choir, with Peter Dijkstra<\/strong> as choir leader) and Radio<\/strong> Filharmonisch Orkest<\/strong> (Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra). It will be conducted by Dima Slobodeniouk<\/strong>, the Russian-born conductor who now resides in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 We sat one evening in March 2019, Kerstin and I, and talked about us humans and the Earth, says Karin in her work commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our planet Earth, increasingly exposed. Vulnerable. Ice is melting, forests are burning, streams are flooding in a way we do not recognize. The proportions are scary. What will happen? What’s happening right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 I try to listen to what needs to be said, needs to be expressed. Not what I want, but what is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It becomes a conversation with the notes, where I start processes, sensitive to where the music then wants, Karin explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It eventually became the work Silent Earth<\/em>. With the movements<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Silent Earth, 2. We, Who Once Were, 3. The Burning Earth.
