Like Beethoven strolling through the Viennese countryside, composer, producer and DJ Gabriel Prokofiev wandered to the heights of Verbier in early 2020 in search of just the right sounds. On route to the Chapelle Saint-Christophe, he captured atmospheric audio clips from nature – possibly similar to those that inspired Beethoven to compose his Sixth Symphony, the ‘Pastoral’. In tribute to Beethoven and his work, Prokofiev delivers a modern, resolutely contemporary response to the Pastoral, streamed live for the first time in 2020 from the Verbier Festival. Presented here for string sextet and electronics, this new work integrates these found field recordings. A possible return to the source; a possible projection into the future; music of our time, certainly.

Program:
- L. van Beethoven, Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 'Pastoral' (arr. for string sextet by M. G. Fischer)
- G. Prokofiev, Pastoral Reflections
