“Aurora”, Elysium Concerts
“A new year begins – and with it a musical journey in three parts: awakening, departure and hope. The Elysium New Year's Concert 2026 deliberately strikes a different note. Under the title Aurora, a poetic soundscape of new beginnings emerges. Works by Arvo Pärt, Debussy, Schubert, Lili Boulanger, Janáček and Piazzolla unfold an exciting dramaturgy: from quiet introspection to the first rays of light to passionate, rhythmic energy. Music that does not celebrate, but questions, opens and narrates – finely nuanced, modern in its conception and deeply felt. The concert is characterised by chamber music in a clear, lean instrumentation – predominantly for piano trio. With this extraordinary programme, the Elysium Concerts invite you to consciously experience the beginning of the year: not as routine, but as a musical departure into the unknown.”
