Dear friend of Arkadia,

You are invited to The Subjectivity of “Pure Information”: Impressions of Allan Pettersson’s Symphony No. 10 by Derek Ho on Saturday 22.3 at 4pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11)

What does a piece of acoustic orchestral music “mean?” How is our perception of the music influenced by our knowledge of the composer and the biographical circumstances of the work’s composition? After a listening to Allan Pettersson’s 25-minute Symphony No. 10, Derek Ho will lead a discussion on the possible meanings of this music.

Welcome!

Warm regards,

Ian
