Ludwig van Beethoven called his eighth symphony his “little symphony in F”, comparing it to the longer sixth symphony; the eighth is more light-hearted, but not lightweight, however. Joseph Haydn’s F minor symphony known as La passione on the other hand is contrastingly dark and dramatic. In between the two symphonies, Kaija Saariahos Vers toi qui es si loin for violin and orchestra shines a light in the darkness.

What exactly are the motivations that make an artist want to expose himself completely and stand all alone on stage, with no flashy props or musicians to back him up.

But one thing is certain, that is exactly what one of our biggest pop phenomena, Orup, intends to do. Welcome to Orup Bara. Just like that.
