    Overview

    O/Modernt portrays the anguished pleasures and pains of love in a concert that opens with Lera Auerbach’s instrumental dialogue, Sogno di Stabat Mater (I Dream of Stabat Mater), reflecting on the inextinguishable torments of the grieving mother. Golfam Khayam’s three-part Mirror Memory reconciles nostalgic hurt and a lover’s ecstatic homage in a dream of consummation. After the interval O/Modernt presents two seminal musical meditations on love: Janáček’s ‘Intimate Letters’, a quartet expressing the composer’s feelings for a married woman 38 years his junior, and the glorious longing of Mahler’s Adagietto from his Symphony No. 5.
