The compositions featured in the concert originate from a solo improvisation performed by Berghäll in a single take. The catalyst for this improvisation was anti-war poems written in various conflict zones around the world, which served as abstract inspiration for the music. The melodic themes of the compositions were transcribed exactly as they emerged, without altering a single note, remaining faithful to the impulses of the improvisation. The audience will also get a first taste of the duo’s upcoming project.
