Azure! Like the fifth chakra related to hearing. The azure says: “Listen to yourself and to the other.” But also: “Create! Disobey!” The azure never keeps silent. It continuously reminds us that “there is a key to every door” (Robert Musil), and that “every door is an opportunity, and not an obstacle” (Charlie Chaplin), but also: “let it suffice you, azure is a colour” (Julius Caesar). In our own small way we will disobey the rules that demand that a pianist performing with a symphonic orchestra shall stick to the rigorously precise and immutable score. And we will reinvent ourselves each time thanks to a considerable amount of piano improvising and thanks to a kind of energy and creative joy that Kristjan Järvi will pull out from every single member of the orchestra” Compositions by Kristjan Järvi: Aurora A celebration piece of the North.
