Čiurlionis’ magnificent seascape from Lithuania, Pētersons’ new composition of order and chaos from Latvia, and the combined efforts of all three orchestras and conductors in the performance of American composer Daugherty’s Time Machine that operates just like a time machine is wont to do – contemplating the past and surveying the future.
