Hugo Ticciati and his Sweden-based chamber orchestra O/Modernt present two works reflecting on motherhood, alongside solo compositions written and performed by world-renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Schoenberg’s wondrous early Verklärte Nacht, based on a poem by Richard Dehmel, wordlessly resolves the crisis of a pregnant woman into a paen to the transformative power of love.
