Isidora Žebeljan: The Horses of Saint Mark & Hum away, hum away, strings!
The NAC Orchestra performs for the first time two works by Serbian composer Isidora Žebeljan: The Horses of Saint Mark, a surrealist adventure that evokes the sacred chants of Byzantine monks, and Zujte Strune (Hum away, hum away, strings!), which reimagines themes from Mozart’s fairy-tale opera The Magic Flute.
Isidora Žebeljan’s music has been described as “a frenetic fantasy, screaming and sobbing, moving between Belgrade and New York.”
