Other authors:
Merwijk, Willem van
(Composer)
Description:
In 2014 Lago was approached by the young Lithuanian saxophonist Rusne Mikiskaite after a concert with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble in the Amsterdam Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ where he had been performing his arrangement of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet with his colleagues . She had received an invitation by a Festival in Lithuania for concerts with a string quartet and asked Lago if he had suggestions. He decided on the spot to write a piece for her and promised her so. 'Consecuencias' (consequences) is the result of that promise.
