In the program Future Echoes, past, present and future find each other in the form of light and sound. The creators put Schönberg’s Second String Quartet at the center and Vinthya Perinpanathan juxtaposes a newly composed work with Schönberg’s pioneering notes. The concept of the ‘harmony of spheres’ offers a counterpoint to relationships between notes and intervals that was seen as ideal, in both music and the cosmos.
Tradition and innovation go together with the curious creators of Future Echoes. In Future Echoes, the high-profile young soprano Elisabeth Hetherington, winner of the Dutch Music Prize 2024, collaborates with the ADAM Quartet, composer Vinthya Perinpanathan and a lighting designer. With her commissioned work, Perinpanathan writes a tribute to Schönberg’s innovation while reflecting on the evolution of musical expression over the centuries.
