Sara Salvérius – Adem
In 2025, Sara Salvérius’ grandfather announced the day and hour of his death. He had requested euthanasia and knew exactly when he would take his last breath. For Sara, the foreshadowing of the impending farewell was not only the beginning of a personal grieving process, but also the start of a search for the cadence that gives rhythm to every life: the breath.

In 2025, Sara Salvérius’ grandfather announced the day and hour of his death. He had requested euthanasia and knew exactly when he would take his last breath. For Sara, the foreshadowing of the impending farewell was not only the beginning of a personal grieving process, but also the start of a search for the cadence that gives rhythm to every life: the breath. Driven by the ambition to write for a larger ensemble once again, she brings together four brass and woodwind players from diverse backgrounds. Together, they explore the wind rushing through their instruments—sometimes with the melancholic tone of a whispered final word, sometimes with the exuberant character of a brass band. Between composition and improvisation, they celebrate life, farewell, and death. Because everything is breath.
