Kings Place - ‘Pastoral 21’ - 9th October 2022

Together with UNLTD Collective, Gabriel is excited to announce ‘Pastoral 21’s’ London premier performance at Kings Place on Sunday 9th October (19:00pm-20:30pm). He will perform electronics alongside six extremely talented young string players from Germany, Turkey, UK, Switzerland & Spain, all alumni of the Verbier Festival Academy.

The centre piece of the evening is ‘Pastoral Reflections’, a contemporary response to Beethoven’s 250 year old Pastoral Symphony. Each movement is a contemporary response to the movements of Beethoven’s Pastoral, so the ‘merry dance of the villagers’ (movement III) becomes a techno rave at dystopian ‘mega-farm’, and the ‘thankful feelings after the storm’ (V) becomes a bitter-sweet reflection on the fragile beauty of nature. The programme also features music from ‘Breaking Screens’ and two movements from Beethoven’s Symphony No.6 in F major Op. 68 (arr. M.G. Fischer).
