Shawn Jaeger on "Mountains Are Fountains"
Description
Let's sharpen our ears for the music of the 21st century!
Returning for its fifth edition, Lucerne Festival Forward – the Festival’s fall celebration of contemporary music – will take place from 21 to 23 November 2025. The adventurous young musicians of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) will present a wide panorama of music that's entirely of our time. Among the brand new compositions up for discovery is Shawn Jaeger's "Mountains Are Fountains" for string orchestra.
In our podcast "Deep Listening: New Music", dramaturge Mark Sattler sits down with Shawn Jaeger to learn what ideas guided him in his composition and what's behind the wonderful title of his new work.
