Listen to your pillow!

19.08.2015

“We had an old-fashioned radio at home, so I listened to music on that. But I also heard music when I was a girl that didn't come from a radio. This music that didn't come from a radio was music that was in my mind. I imagined that it came from my pillow. My mother remembered me asking her to turn the pillow off at night when I couldn't sleep; to turn off the music that I imagined inside my head." The music of Kaia Saariaho is a journey to a dream world, mysterious, intuitive inner universe of dazzling proportions and deep, sometimes dark dimensions of sub consciousness. She dares to bare the most intimate places of her soul, the difficult journeys she had to make to reach them. And, as if that were not enough, she managed not to conform to whatever rules or forms she was supposed to subject to in order to be “accepted” and stayed true to her.

How we wish we knew where they sell the pillows like the one she used to have!

PS: Until we find that out – join us at the concert on September 8th, where her music will be performed under the baton of Marko Letonja. A pillow for your soul! With money back guaranty!
