Halloween Concert: Aftonland
About the Event
The Nobel prize winner Pär Lagerkvist’s last collection of poetry, ’Aftonland’, is the poetic starting point for a moving Halloween Concert with Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir. Lagerkvist’s poems are about death, as a kind of final solution to or relief from the heart’s restlessness. Lagerkvist is preoccupied with nature as a state and as a mirror of the soul, and it is this very special mood we seek to illuminate by adopting the very different approaches to the words taken by various composers.
