LEIPZIG MDR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE 2017/18

"Als Composer in residence setzt die britisch-bulgarische Komponistin Dobrinka Tabakova im Programm 2017/18 Akzente und entwirft tonende Inseln der Verinnerlichung mit ganz eigenem Zauber: Archaisch und allgemeingültig wirken die meditativen Klänge Tabakovas und rühren stets an Grundfesten der menschlichen Existenz. Woher der Mensch kommt, wohin er geht, sind zentrale Fragen in ihren beeindruckenden Werken, die musikalische Traditionen nicht verleugnen und genau deshalb einen so direkten Zugang ermöglichen." Kristjan Jarvi
