Prometheus: Fire and Light
Liszt, Schönberg, and Scriabin: they all looked to music to free themselves from mundane distractions. And all three were completely enthralled by the myth of Prometheus, who defied the gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity setting civilisation in motion. The Internationally renowned pianist Nicolas Namoradze will join the orchestra as the soloist in Liszt’s Totentanz and Scriabin’s Prometheus. Belgian light artist Antoine Goldschmidt was tasked with creating a new light choreography to Scriabin’s Prometheus for this concert, in which we take a closer look at the connections between music and other art disciplines. Sit back and enjoy a synaesthetic sound and light spectacular with music by visionary composers.
