Programme notes<br />

So it’s all over. Our festival is finished, and the concert hall is empty. The adventure has<br />

come to an end - or has it? What is the end of a trip into the beyond? Is there something<br />

else still there? And if not, maybe it’s a good time to have fun?<br />

This very last concert of the <strong>Ragged</strong> <strong>Music</strong><br />

<strong>Festival</strong> is a kind of addition, a playful<br />

postscript to an intense immersive journey<br />

we aimed to create. Stylistically speaking, it<br />

deliberately doesn’t belong to the network of<br />

bridges and associations we were carefully<br />

building. Or maybe it does…you tell us!<br />

What is definite is that we wanted to finish<br />

this off on a lighter note - with a joke, with<br />

a dance, with a miniature firework. Yet even<br />

now we are not certain what it will be like.<br />

After all, we are all in the hands of music<br />

here, and Prokofiev’s Cinderella is a mercurial<br />

and unpredictable work. ‘It’s a fairy tale’, you<br />

may say. And we agree – but beware: this is a<br />

fairy tale about a fairy tale coming true. Let’s<br />

see where it goes!<br />
