Strijkkwartet Biënnale Amsterdam

The music of Russian/American composer Lera Auerbach (1973) is packed with fire and eloquence. In 2016 the world premiere of her composition 72 Angels for choir and saxophone quartet was received with great enthusiasm. Goetia 72 is the sequel to this masterpiece and promises to be no less sensational. 72 Angels, written for 24 singers and saxophone quartet, sings the praises of all the angels named in the Hebrew bible. Goetia, by contrast, explores the sombre, shady world of the 72 demons. Auerbach undoubtedly deserves to be considered one of the world’s most prominent composers.
