“The Fox” is a concert for viola and orchestra, inspired by the archaic music of early renaissance with a hint of romantic and modern music. The film tells the true-life story of a young Austrian soldier in WWII, and is about friendship and love in the most difficult circumstances as the protagonist befriends a little fox puppy he finds abandoned in the woods.

The viola plays a central part in the musical storytelling, as it reflects the inner world and the spiritual change of the protagonist. The string section reflects this journey while it oscillates between a wider and embracing full orchestral sound and moments of intimate chamber music.
