KYMI SINFONIETTA STRINGS – THREE STORIES FOR STRINGS

Heinrich Biber: Battalia à 10
Dmitri Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony in C minor, Op. 110a (orch. Barshai)
Osvaldo Golijov: Last Round

Music for strings that pulses with energy and resonates with an anti-war message. Composed in the 17th century, Biber’s Battalia à 10 surprises with its unusual instrumental techniques and strikingly inventive take on Baroque music. Shostakovich’s intense chamber symphony dives deep into the composer’s inner world of light and shadow. Golijov’s Last Round pays tribute to Astor Piazzolla, blending playful rhythms with elements of tango.
