Sebastian Fagerlund: Ignite
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 9
In 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven made history with a symphony that culminates in the shared joy of all humanity. Though the dream of universal brotherhood remains unrealized, Ode to Joy is a powerful reminder of the utopia we must never stop pursuing.
This season’s featured composer, Sebastian Fagerlund, made his breakthrough with the Teosto Prize-winning Ignite—an electrifying celebration of controlled chaos. Blending sci-fi soundscapes, medieval melodies, and exotic rhythms, it launches the listener on a thrilling journey to the eye of the storm—and back.
Season series concert. The concert lasts about two hours. You can find the exact duration and more information on the orchestra’s website: www.tamperefilharmonia.fi/en/
You can buy tickets from the Tampere Hall ticket office, Aplodi and the Lippupiste online store (Lippupiste adds service fees and possible shipping fees to ticket prices).
Programme subject to change.
