ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
At the Lunch Concert Classical on Friday afternoon you will hear the greatest musical promises. In A Story I Wish I Was Told, a life story is revealed in five songs. Not only that of the composer himself, but also that of many other queer people. Written from the perspective of today, looking at that insecure teenager, at the child who knew nothing yet. Love, self-discovery and above all that eternal search for what it means to be your true self, in this song cycle we look back on the past and think: “what would I have liked to know sooner?”
