COMING UP:
THE EVENING STAR
A HUGE STEP IN MY CAREER
- and a huge THANK YOU to the Basler Gesangverein
​​
Last year, the Basler Gesangverein honoured me with a commission for a composition for choir and orchestra, to be performed in their winter concerts of 2025. Now that it is official and already printed in the preview section of their newest flyer, I am incredibly grateful and proud to announce that "The Evening Star" ("Der Abendstern", "Luceafarul" in Romanian) will be performed on three occasions:
- Nov 29, 17:00, Stadtcasino Basel
- Nov 30, 19:30, Église des Jésuites, Porrentruy
- Dec 7, 17:00, Podium Düdingen
The inspiration for this piece comes from the most treasured Romanian poet, whose mesmerising verses I have always dreamt of making music on: Mihai Eminescu. I have chosen his most famous poem, "The Evening Star", for my piece as its plot matches the other piece in the concerts above perfectly: In Schumann's "Pilgrimage of a Rose" a fairy dreams of becoming a mortal and living her life among humans. In Eminescu's poem, the Evening Star (Hyperion) decides to renounce his immortality out of love for a princess on Earth. The topics are extremely similar, but the outcomes completely different. I am overjoyed at this chance to introduce the art of a poet so dear to me and to my entire nation, as I strongly believe he deserves more acknowledgment for his genius.
I will make sure to inform you regarding the tickets as soon as they're available, but you would make me the happiest and proudest if you would already mark one of these dates in your calendar!
