The OhOhOhs‘ second movement of the “Corona Symphony”, unfolds with elegance and depth, seamlessly transitioning from the symphony’s opening movement. Within this three-part opus, the spirit of Frédéric Chopin permeates, as a poignant piano theme gives way to an impassioned interlude, eventually introducing the ethereal vocals of Swiss soprano Maja Bader. The word “Corona” carries a dual significance, referencing both a poem by Paul Celan and serving as a heartfelt tribute to poet Ingeborg Bachmann. Premiered to a rapt audience in Frankfurt in 2022, this composition resonates as a testament to the transformative power of crisis and the finite nature of existence.
