SUMMARY:AT HOME IN MUSIC – THE CLARINET PERSPECTIVE
DESCRIPTION:Conductor: Huba Hollòköi\nSoloist: Csaba Rajnai\, clarinet \nMartijn Padding: Glimpse\nKrzysztof Dobosiewicz: Clarinet concerto no. 3 (Significations profondes de l’absurdité\, fp)\nCharles Gounod: Symphony no. 1 in D \nThe artists in this concert both have roots in Central Europe\, which also provides the substance for the programme. Krzysztof Dobosiewicz and Kymi Sinfonietta clarinettist Csaba Rajnai first joined forces nearly 20 years ago for the premiere of Dobosiewicz’s first clarinet concerto. Today’s third concerto really does put the instrument through its paces. Huba Hollòköi also conducts Martijn Padding’s dynamic Glimpse and Gounod’s spirited\, classical first symphony.

It also presents some leading Estonian composers who have made a lasting mark both in their homeland and on the international scene – such as Arvo Pärt\, who recently turned 90\, Erkki-Sven Tüür\, Heino Eller and Lepo Sumera – and represents a magnificent meeting of the diverse skills of Estonian and Finnish musicians. \nIn partnership with the City of Kotka

SUMMARY:“LOUD SILENCES” – COMIC AND TRAGIC SCENES FROM A COUPLE’S LIFE
DESCRIPTION:Conductor & soloist: Topi Lehtipuu\, tenor\nWoman: Matleena Kuusniemi\nScript: Anu Arasu & Topi Lehtipuu \nOur Artistic Partner Topi Lehtipuu has created a host of imaginative programmes to delight our audiences\, and tonight’s is no exception. It focuses on communication between husband and wife: tragic and comic scenes in which silence acquires many\nmanifestations. They afford us glimpses of the lives of couples of different ages\, stories based on a shared rhythm and interaction between two people. Woven into the drama are magnificent snatches of music in which the orchestra has a stage role all of its own. The script is by Topi Lehtipuu and Anu Arasu.

SUMMARY:TUULENTEI – IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARTTI POKELA
DESCRIPTION:Tuulentei: Soila Sariola\, vocals\nPetteri Sariola\, guitar\nJyri Sariola\, drums \nJanuary 2024 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Finnish kantele player Martti Pokela. In honour of the centenary\, three of his descendants wish to honour their grandfather’s musical legacy by combining forces in a trio with a larger orchestral line-up. Coupled with some moving arrangements of pieces by him are some new ones of the trio’s own. Martti’s original idiom and passionate love of music have brought the three Sariolas together and inspired this tribute to the past.
