Bridging the World by Tobias Broström, performed by the Malmö Opera Percussion Ensemble

Program notes for the big percussion concert WILDFIRE which was held at the Malmö Opera House, March 16th 2010.

A SPARKLING PERCUSSION CONCERT
It all started with a sparkle in the Music Library at the Malmö Opera. Magnus Johansson and Benjamin Staern work here daily who also happens to be composers. They contacted the Percussion Ensemble from the Malmö Opera, and planted the idea of making a slightly chamber concert. Enthusiasm from the involved now made the fire to spread and the flames got stronger and stronger. More composers got attached to the project, which gave the fire more fuel. It is now all realized into a sparkling and euphoric percussion concert held at the Malmö Opera House big stage with 5 works of which three of them are world-premiered.


BRIDGING THE WORLD
Based on J.S Bach's Chaconne in D minor (from the solo violin partita)
