A LOCKDOWN SYMPHONY

after Sara Vienna's song My Home Brașov

for voice, solo piano, symphony orchestra, choirs and organ

Like all symphonic projects around the world, the premiere of My Home Brașov Symphony was postponed due to the CoVid-19 pandemic. During lockdown, which I have spent in Brașov, I studied the historic chamber arrangements of Beethoven's Symphonies. This inspired me to make a chamber version called A Lockdown Symphony, relying on the support of some of the closest vibrate!festival local partners: the Transylvania University, musicians of the Brașov Philharmonic and the Urban Art Depot.

Sarah Vienna, voice
