SUMMARY:PANGEA – MUSIC & LIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Spanish multi-instrumentalist and instrument maker Abraham Cupeiro captured our audiences’ hearts the very first time he visited us in 2020. Tonight we hear the new project by the brilliant instrument maker in a magical\, breath-taking blend of light and music. ‘Pangea’ alludes to a time about 200 million years ago when the present continents were still all joined together. Continents and cultures unite in this concert through music and light in a way that is both inspiring and entertaining. The conductor is one of the Kymi Sinfonietta’s own musicians\, Dimas Ruiz Santos. He and Cupeiro have recorded the music with a top London orchestra\, the Royal Philharmonic. Our concerts are part of the programme for the “Waves! Kotka Light and Sound Art” festival. \nConductor:\nDimas Ruiz Santos \nSoloist:\nAbraham Cupeiro \nProgramme:\nPangea \n

SUMMARY:ITALIAN REFLECTIONS
DESCRIPTION:This concert conducted by Olari Elts focuses on various reflections of a country rich in colour and variety: Italy. Andrea Portera\, winner of the 2019 International Uuno Klami Composition Competition – one of the world’s biggest composition competitions in terms of the number of participants – makes an eagerly-awaited return to our region. An Italian composer\, he has won great acclaim for his magnificent\, intense timbres\, and the new work is part of his prize. The moving folk songs of another Italian\, Luciano Berio\, combine old and new in a way that is both fresh and original. The sparkling mezzo-soprano soloist is Finnish opera singer Virpi Räisänen. And Mendelssohn abundantly captures the glorious\, disarming Italian light in his Symphony no. 4 \nConductor:\nOlari Elts \nSoloist:\nVirpi Räisänen\, mezzo-soprano \nProgramme:\nAndrea Portera: Arachnomancy\, fp\nLuciano Berio: Folk Songs\nFelix Mendelssohn: Symphony no. 4 in A major\, “Italian” \n

SUMMARY:TIMELESS CLASSICS
DESCRIPTION:This programme led by our concertmaster Raymond Cox focuses on timeless Classics that sound equally fresh from one century to the next. The Adagio & Fugue bring out the profound\, more melancholy side of Mozart and demonstrate his command of counterpoint. The soloist in his Piano Concerto no. 20\, heartrendingly beautiful and soaring into romantic heights\, ranks among Finland’s internationally most highly-acclaimed pianists of all times\, Antti Siirala. We end with one of the most magnificent souvenirs of Haydn’s years in London\, his charming “Oxford” Symphony. \nLeader:\nRaymond Cox \nSoloist:\nAntti Siirala\, piano \nProgramme:\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Adagio & Fugue in C minor KV 546\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto no. 20 in D minor KV 466\nJoseph Haydn: Symphony no. 92 in G major\, “Oxford”

SUMMARY:FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Talented young London-born Kerem Hasan tonight conducts the Kymi Sinfonietta in a fascinating interplay of darkness and light. We begin with Mozart’s compact\, exquisitely-crafted Symphony no. 35\, followed by a dusky concerto – Dark with Excessive Bright – exploring the meditative timbres of the double bass by American composer Missy Mazzoli. The second half of our concert is\, by contrast\, bathed in light. Milhaud’s carnivalesque ballet pantomime The Ox on the Roof and Kodály’s heated\, atmospheric folk dances are full of joy\, optimism and zest. \nConductor:\nKerem Hasan \nSoloist:\nJohannes Raikas\, double bass \nProgramme:\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony no. 35 in D major\, “Haffner” KV 385\nMissy Mazzoli: Dark with Excessive Bright\,  Concerto for double bass & string orchestra\nDarius Milhaud: Le bœuf sur le toit op. 58 (The Ox on the Roof)\nZoltán Kodály: Dances of Galánta

SUMMARY:OPENING CONCERT OF THE AUTUMN SEASON: THE MAGIC OF MUSIC!
DESCRIPTION:The Kymi Sinfonietta begins its autumn season in cheerful mood – with a concert that invites us to enjoy the moment and let ourselves be carried along by the music. Multi-instrumentalist I-Han Fu is fast making a name for himself as a conductor\, too\, and tonight conjures up some lavishly colourful moods. In other words\, we can look forward to some delicious shades of folk music and dance rhythms from Spain\, Hungary\, Poland and Romania\, along with glimpses of a fairytale world in stage music by Sibelius and Mendelssohn. Petteri Iivonen\, concertmaster of the Paris Opera\, will generate lots of virtuosic energy in some breath-taking works for violin. \nConductor:\nI-Han Fu \nSoloist:\nPetteri Iivonen\, violin \nProgramme:\nFelix Mendelssohn: Music for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ op. 61 (mts 1\, 5 & 7)\nCamille Saint-Saëns: Havanaise for violin & orchestra op. 83\nFranz Schubert: Polonaise in B-flat major for violin & orchestra\, D 580\nPablo de Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen op. 20\nJean Sibelius: Valse triste\nJean Sibelius: Valse romantique\nZoltán Kodály: Dances of Marosszék\nJohannes Brahms: Hungarian Dances (nos 1\, 3\, 5\, 6 & 10)
