Together with its artistic director Julian Azkoul, the United Strings of Europe develop engaging programs with the aim of finding connections between different works and eras, music from different cultures, connecting familiar with new, and encouraging people to listen to works in different ways and discover new repertoire. With "Hommages," the ensemble celebrates musical traditions, from the myth of Apollo and the muses of Greek antiquity to twentieth-century legends, Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla, reinterpreted through contemporary voices. This imaginative programme also presents newer works alongside the world premiere recording of Julian Azkoul's arrangement of Igor Stravinsky's neoclassical ballet "Apollon musagète", composed in the 1920s. While Dobrinka Tabakova's "Organum Light," recorded here for the first time, was inspired by Einstein's theory of quantum light, Osvaldo Golijov returns to his Argentine roots for "Last Round," a tribute to two legendary compatriots. Olli Mustonen's "Second Nonet" is a timeless work with hints to the Balkans, music from romance, and Nordic moods. Another work by Mustonen, "Apotheosis", also a world premiere, concludes this varied program with a dramatic note inspired by Bach's choral auditions.
