PREMIERE Jacob Mühlrad RESIL II
RESIL is a series of orchestral works inspired by Carl Folke, an internationally renowned ecologist, economist and founder of the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and his research on resilience. In RESIL I, we travelled through time, from the emergence of the biosphere through dramatic changes, until humanity finally takes its place: the Holocene.
In RESIL II, harmony is destabilised. The music evokes a system under pressure, where humanity’s impact on the biosphere is heard in disintegrating microtonal structures. We are in the Anthropocene, a period of instability. But at its core, hope for resilience shimmers: a resilient world in a state of constant change. Hope that we can learn to live sustainably.
Jacob Mühlrad was born in 1991 and is one of the most acclaimed Swedish composers of his generation.
RESIL II will be premiered by the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Brett Dean, at Örebro Concert Hall on 22 October at 7 pm.
