For the first orchestral project after the Coronavirus hiatus, the Helsinki Chamber Orchestra returns with a program of two American giants reflecting on time. After a spring and summer where time seemed to stand still, these two works examine time in two very different but related ways. Copland takes a single day, reminds us how, as a moment in time, it is affected by both what was and what will be. He reminds us how much can change between sunrise and sunset. Glass instead takes an entire year, rushing us through a larger unit of time. We see how chaotic life is, and how important it is to take a moment to reflect on what we have and where we are. If there is one lesson this last year has taught us, it is how everything that is and can be changes in a moment. And that is worth reflecting on.
