What is life?
What is life? That question is explored in this multifaceted programme, in which each work offers its own unique interpretation. Ann-Sofi Söderberg’s What is life? opens a space for reflection on the meaning of existence. Sven-Eric Johanson’s Snabbt jagar stormen våra år captures the fleeting passage of time and change. Ingvar Lidholm’s De profundis delves deeply into the human struggle for understanding, while Gösta Nystroem’s Säg mig du seeks connection and empathy. Max Reger’s intense Der Mensch lebt und bestehtexpresses the complexity of human life, and Paul Mealor’s Ubi caritas et amor celebrates love as life’s foundation. Caroline Shaw’s poetic and the swallow evokes hope and renewal, while Alvin Vikman’s Lost hopeportrays life’s darker moments. Together, these works form a profound musical meditation on the nature of life.
