Global Orchestra – Hedonic Treadmills
The Global Orchestra is not just a band. It is a laboratory of sound, where our visions take the shape of sonic atmospheres. This concert is about a celebrating a happy triumph in the face of adversity. Despite external challenges, due to Covid19, we have been able to keep working to make the most our situation. We have gained a renewed appreciation for the opportunity to meet in person and play. What was previously taken for granted, has become a cherished privilege. The 2nd year bachelor students have brought new material for the orchestra, which we are proud to present. Our journey will take us not only to Albania, Brazil, Senegal and Sweden, but also to the wuthering heights of places that only exist in our imagination.
Special Thanks to Olli Vartiainen for helping the 2nd year students on their journey.
