Back in the nineties, conductor-composer Dirk Brossé and Flanders Symphony Orchestra took audiences by storm with Artesia: an innovative, universal symphony for an orchestra, ethnic instruments and soloists. Today, almost thirty years on, Brossé looks back on his original intent. What is left of his dreams of unison and human rights for everyone? The innocent voice of a child guides Brossé in his musings. From the ashes of silence, hope is born anew.
