San Francisco Symphony

Universe, Incomplete San Francisco Symphony

Live performance from 2018 of the unfinished work by composer Charles Ives. Inspired by the potential of the work, director Christoph Marthaler, stage designer Anna Viebrock and conductor Titus Engel joined forces to stage a performance of Ives' incomplete project, originally intended for more than 4,000 musicians, at the arts festival Ruhrtriennale in 2018. Also included is the documentary film 'The Unanswered Ives', directed by Anne-Kathrin Peitz, which looks at the composer's life and music.
