Description
The beehive is bubbling, the new Queen will soon hatch. When it is released from the cell, it sings a melody. It is a sign for the other bees: the moment has come. "When the Queen Bee Hatches", is commissioned by the Vaasa City Orchestra, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024.
Mehiläispesässä kuohuu, uusi kuningatar kuoriutuu pian. Kennosta vapautuessaan se laulaa melodian, jonka kuullessaan muut mehiläiset tietävät hetken tulleen. Kuningatarmehiläisen kuoriutuessa on Vaasan kaupunginorkesterin tilaus, joka juhlistaa orkesterin kunnallistamisesta kulunutta 50-vuotta.
