Premiere

The Babylon ORCHESTRA unites European and Middle Eastern music, combining different cultures to bring the cultural diversity of our time to life at the highest artistic level. In its concerts, the ensemble tells musical stories, revives traditions and takes its audience on journeys to distant worlds. Founder and artistic director, Mischa Tangian, has written a work for orchestra and percussion for the Staatsorchester Stuttgart, which will be premiered in Stuttgart at the end of October. The work, entitled The Order of Time, centers on the encounter between European and non-European musical cultures and their instruments. The soloist for the evening is Iranian percussionist Roshanak Rafani, conducted by Tianyi Lu.
