Bad Boys of Music
Beginner's Guide - This concert opens with a short piece by our festival composer which is both poetic and rhythmically exciting. Then a violin sonata by American Goerge Antheil that is like nothing you´ve ever heard before. A real challenge for the musicians, but utterly fabulous and entertaining. (The title for this concert is taken from Antheil´s autobiography). Then Stravinsky´s playful ´Soldier´s Tale´ that is simply delightful, and we end with one of the modern classics by Shostakovich.
