“William is a great composer, but so far he’s basically dealt with small ensembles,” Young said. “He was a little shocked, but I was absolutely delighted when I told him.’The whole toolbox is complete, with orchestras, choirs, soloists, etc. Good luck!’”

Burton’s work includes the sound of clapboard made of wood recovered from the floor of the opera house before the work began.

“They are very sacred and continue to be played in the spirit of all the musicians who set foot on the stage of the concert hall,” he began working on works that evoke the sacred landscape and the sense of the sacred landscape. Burton said the importance of language.
“I hope my people are proud,” he added.

Young was speaking as SSO from Zurich, Switzerland 2022 season announced the long-awaited return to the concert hall, which closed in February last year, is a highlight.
