Sven-David Sandström: Swedish blues vocals
Martina Batič has already conducted the world's best choirs such as the Swedish Radio Choir and the Bavarian Radio Choir. Now the Slovenian is visiting the NDR Vokalensemble as a guest conductor. For her debut, Martina Batič has chosen contemporary vocal works from Northern Europe and the Baltic States. Sven-David Sandström's elegiac choral music "Sonnets of darkness and love" opens the program. Dedicated to his compatriot, the Swedish jazz musician Nils Landgren, wistful blues vocals and the warm sounds of a trombone rise above the muted vocal texture.

Other composers on the evening are the Brit James MacMillan, the Latvian Maija Einfelde and the Finn Einojuhani Rautavaara.
