Swedish premiere of Helena Tulve’s “Anastatica” conducted by Olari Elts

On January 26, Helena Tulve’s Anastatica will be premiered by Uppsala Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Olari Elts in Uppsala Concert and Congress Hall. It will be the second premiere of this orchestral work – the joint commission of Uppsala orchestra and international new music festival “Nyyd” was first performed by Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in October 2011 in Tallinn. Named after the desert plant, this 2-part work is inspired of images from Sufi poetry. Organisers introduce Helena Tulve as a composer who has attracted considerable international attention for its expressive and emotionally charged music. The concert in Uppsala will present also Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto (soloist Viviane Hagner) and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7.
