In its music, Ensemble Suspirium explores the perspective of 17th and 18th century man on nature. Nature often functions as a refuge, but how? For whom? And why do we feel the urge to flee into nature, that last bit of inhospitable territory? What can we learn from this? We follow various first-person characters and their relationship with nature – wandering, searching, enlightening, complaining, carrying, questioning…

What does nature mean? That depends on who asks, who feels, who looks and who listens. Nature’s in the eye of the beholder.
