Labyrinth

In 2011, the ‘Lucerne Festival’ once again explored the interpretations of the concept of night in music. The focus was on the fantasists and dreamers among the composers, the mystics and masters of dark sounds.
For this occasion, the composer Sofia Gubaidulina had composed a work commissioned by the festival. The result was the ensemble piece ‘Labyrinth’ for twelve solo cellos, which will be premiered by the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker on 30 August 2011.
The composer dedicated ‘Labyrinth’ to the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
