Movingly Beautiful
1st Hansa II Subscription Concert
A Work by Claude Debussy
She is the woman with the »meteoric career« (faz), »half-intellectual, half-Bullerby« (die zeit). Her name is half-reality, half-fiction – she wanted a stage name so simply added »Tyla« to her own, which in Lithuanian means »stillness« or »silence«. And since music always originates from and ultimately ends in silence, »Tyla« acts like a discreet programme. Always listen carefully! In her early 30s, Mirga Gražinyte –Tyla is on the brink of an international career. The principal conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra already conducted The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2016 at the Heidelberg Spring Music Festival, at which Norbert Lammert, president of the German Bundestag, presented the Kammerphilharmonie with the ›Orchestra of the Year‹ prize. For her début at the Bremen subscription concerts, she has chosen one of the most beautiful and emotive operas in the entire repertoire – a rare experience with a full-size orchestra. Mirga Gražinyte – Tyla personally selected the mostly young soloists for this project.
