DÆGRIN World Premiere

On 29 January, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra will premiere Bára Gísladóttir’s DÆGRIN. The work is premiered during Dark Music Days in Reykjavík.

About the work, Bára Gísladóttir writes

"DÆGRIN is a landscape of dreams and fluttering thoughts throughout a period of time where parts have been expanded, parts have been condensed, and generally manipulated, to fit into the form of the piece itself.

Always hinging on the abstract, we go through passages depicting the gasping for thin air, bustling textures, slow motion scenarios, the deep within, a lack/overload of sorrow, hyper focused roller coaster rides that simultaneously are, lets face it, the absolute mayhem of boundless restlessness, cusp cuts, stillness, cusp shuts, a sudden oasis in (perhaps) a desert, a quick rush up the man flu mountain - not deserving our time - an escape route offered by a wee bridge, back to what was to be said: Dægrin löng og ströng."
