Jessie Montgomery: Shift, Change, Turn [DK-Premiere]

DISCLAIMER: In the video, you will see the title 'Ensemble Pluma'. This was our previous name. We're now called 'Aarhus Kammerorkester', but we continually strive to upload even more fantastic content!
As performed in Skt. Lukas Kirke, Aarhus, on August 7th 2022 by ourselves and artistic director Magnus Plejdrup
Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons, Shift, Change, Turn is my opportunity to contribute to the tradition of writing a piece based on the seasons, as change and rotation is something that we all experience as humans. This piece is a musical exploration of both the external and internal seasons which at times seem to be changing along the same axis.

I just heard this at the Hollywood Bowl, what an amazing gift to experience it live!

I also saw this at the Hollywood Bowl and found it to be hauntingly otherworldly (in the best possible way). In fact, I’d say it was my favorite piece of the evening.
