sympathetic magic was written during the last year's lockdown and is a declaration of love for collective rituals and gathering with other people. the concert can be experienced as a 70-minute long social ritual, and which according to the composer himself is perhaps the most personal music he has ever made. the music expresses a cautious optimism, where the social ecstasy we have all longed for may again be possible to experience.
