- **Event Name**: Beyond the Score: Petrushka w/ Brussels Philharmonic & Ben Glassberg
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 08:15 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: This concert series celebrates the power of imagination: our fantasy transforms what we see in the real world into a universe that is entirely our own, coloured by who we are. What is real? What is illusion? What is imagination? What is reality?

-----

Musically, the three works each explore our sense of reality in their own way: Joan Tower uses the strength of wildly branching sequoias as a metaphor for the sound bath from which she distils her own voice. Camille Pépin takes a Chinese fairy tale as a mirror for our reality. And in Petrushka, Stravinsky plays with roles, personas, and layered realities – until no one knows what was the fairy tale and what was the real world.

The visual dimension enhances this sense of estrangement – and invites the audience to imagine a personal parallel universe. The new works by artist Ellen Vrijsen, inspired by the music, activate the viewer’s imagination. Motion designer Ychaï Gassenbauer takes it a step further, stretching the boundaries between what is imagined and what is real: images overlap, shift, fade, and flow into one another. What is reality? What is imagined? A parallel universe in which music and image converse.
