Sinfonia Rotterdam x Conny Janssen Danst new choreography to minimal masterpiece

When the expansive and dramatic melody reaches its climax, the dancers of Conny Janssen Danst join in with a brand new choreography.

Gorecki, one of the most successful composers of the twentieth century, belonged to holy minimalism, just like Arvo Pärt. The repetition and emptiness in his music makes room for something sacred - call it reflection, contemplation or meditation. His Third Symphony, also called Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, is without a doubt his most popular and most moving work.
