Le Sacre & Amériques · 22.03.2025 · Flagey

Igor Stravinsky led the way with Le Sacre. A lone oboe begins, the orchestra takes over slowly building up until suddenly—BAM! CRASH!—the rhythms explode into a wild, hypnotic pulse that makes you want to move. Edgar Varèse cranked things up even more with Amériques, a percussive tour de force for a massive orchestra, with 14 percussionists. Conductor duo Ilan Volkov and Concertgebouw-Maker Tom De Cock, a percussionist himself, each take on one of these kindred compositions.
