"Aufheben, To sublate, has two senses, now signifying as much as to preserve, maintain, and again as much as to cause to cease, to make an end of. […]
A thing is sublated, resolved, only so far as it has gone into unity with its opposite; in this more particular sense, as what is reflected, it may be fitly named moment."
| Georg Hegel - Science of Logic

First performed in the open air with a beautiful view of the sea, this short chamber music piece seeks to engage in dialogue with the unencumbered passage of time, so effortlessly embodied by untouched nature.
Aufheben was commissioned as part of the opening of the new Zwin Nature Park, originally established in 1952 as the first Flemish nature reserve. Enjoy the full live recording below.
