— Season finale with a look back at the 20th century.

In 2025 it will be 50 years since Harald Sæverud and Dmitri Shostakovich passed away. Both very important voices in their time: artistic as well as democratic front-runners, who today — unfortunately — have gained renewed relevance. This November evening we explore the exciting community between these two figures, who carried with them the legacy of both Bach and Bartók and brought it into our time.

In the program we enter Sæverud's rich world of sleights and sleights, before the concert — and this year's season — is crowned with Shostakovich's mighty Piano Quintet in G minor . Welcome to the season finale in University Aula !
