2007: Verkündigung, Seattle (USA)

In the summer of 2007, I travelled to the United States for the first time at the invitation of the Seattle Symphony. They performed my symphonic cycle VERKÜNDIGUNG conducted by Gerard Schwarz. It was a great experience to see this world, with its dimensions, its radically different human outlook. In particular, I owe a great deal to a couple who had emigrated in 1956 and who not only came to the concert but also took me on a trip to Mount Rainier National Park.
