about

Dances of the Apocalypse is a dark, brooding exploration of the orchestra's menacing side and the unexpected gentleness that comes with it. This journey includes a selection of distinctive, relentless dances which contrast against several more introspective pieces

Modern, romantic and even chamber music influences are plainly visible across different pieces but the inspiring diversity of the orchestra shines constantly. From the lowest booms to the highest shrills, no instrument's voice is left unheard.
