Echoes of Solitude

Amidst the bustling heart of the city, where skyscrapers reach for the heavens and the streets pulsate with life, there exists a unique solitude, unheard by many but felt by those who listen closely. The visual identity of this performance will be portrayed with Max Bruch's Op. 83 pieces, which become the melodic echoes of hidden parks and deserted streets at dawn. Richard Strauss' 'Morgen' captures the dawn of hope in the urban landscape, where dreams are born a new each day. Claude Debussy's 'Second Sonata' embodies the flow of urban life, the calm within the storm. ⁠
