About the event
Program:
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) - 6th Symphony “Pastorale”, op. 68
Reto Stadelmann (*1977) - Yodel Serenade (2022) Arrangement for solo yodel and string orchestra for the Bern Chamber Orchestra (2025)
Songs of the Choeur des Armaillis de la Gruyère
Oliver Waespi (*1971): Vision d'exil (2025) World premiere for mezzo-soprano, male choir and chamber orchestra
The concert program combines the timeless beauty of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral" with the innovative power of contemporary Swiss compositions. Beethoven's masterpiece, a musical portrait of rural life, reflects its affinity for folk music and forms the perfect bridge to the works of Reto Stadelmann and Oliver Waespi.
