Antarctica: Young People's Concert
June 13, 2024, 7:00 p.m
Large House, Mainz State Theater
With works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Daniel Michael Kaiser
With Ralph Vaughan Williams' film-like Sinfonia Antartica we travel to a region full of cold, snow and ice, for which the composer has found exciting sound images. Accompanying us on this musical expedition are researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute who regularly live and work in the polar regions. This evening you will not only find out how many secrets are hidden in music and in snow and ice, but also what it sounds like on a research trip in Spitsbergen.
