There's no better troll than a classical music orchestra troll. 。
Last month, the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra in Sweden received a piece of homophobic hate mail after the orchestra performed music by LGBTQ composers. Instead of tearing the hate mail up, however, the orchestra decided to turn the letter into a beautiful cantata. 。
SEE ALSO:'Disobedience' has some of the most realistic lesbian sex scenes, uh, ever。It's hard to imagine what the Orchestra could possibly do with the letter, which included such choice phrases as "want to vomit" and accused the orchestra of “hopping aboard the f*g train." 。
Poetry, huh?
Thanks for signing up! 。
Composer Fredrik Österling and singer Rickard Söderberg nonetheless decided to compose a cantata and title it Bögtåget” (“The F*g Train”). The orchestra will perform it in June. 。
"I had no hesitation when Rickard Söderberg suggested that I should set it to music. By considering the text as an opera libretto, we were able to scrutinize the emotions that the anonymous sender was seeking to express. And at the same time, we are doing exactly what an artistic institution should be doing; we are reflecting our times in our art,” Osterling said in a post. 。
Listen to a sample and rejoice. 。
If there's any way this composer could turn the hate mail I receive into a indie pop beat I can listen to on the subway, that would be excellent. I'll also take a gay jingle for the shower. Thanks. 。
