SUMMARY:IN MEMORIAM
DESCRIPTION:Our Artistic Partner Topi Lehtipuu joins forces with the Kymi Sinfonietta\, four internationally-celebrated soloists\, the Somnium Ensemble and four great composers. Bach composed his Cantata BWV 105 in 1723\, for the ninth Sunday after Trinity. Beethoven’s masterly choral cantata Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt is based on two poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Crowning the concert is Mozart’s Requiem\, a work that never fails to affect the listener and with which he was feverishly battling shortly before his death. Lehtipuu has chosen just the right soloists and the result certainly promises to be a feast of choral music. \nConductor: Topi Lehtipuu\nChoir:  Somnium Ensemble \nSoloists: \nHendrickje Van Kerckhove\, soprano\nErica Back\, alto\nOscar Esmerode\, tenor\nSzymon Raczkowski\, bass \nProgram:\nJohann Sebastian Bach: Cantata BWV 105\nLudwig van Beethoven: Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt\, op. 112\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem\, KV 626

SUMMARY:LIGHT & WAVES
DESCRIPTION:This programme is part of the “Waves! Light and Sound in Kotka” festival \nThe interplay of light\, water and colour floods the concert hall in this fantastic work of art to music chosen by Olari Elts and lighting effects by Niko Tiainen. The audience can look forward to a concert of astounding shades and effects on an impressive visual journey from the depths of the ocean right out into space. \nThe concert will also pay tribute to the life and work of the late Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho (1952–2023) with an arrangement for string orchestra of her Terra Memoria dedicated to all the departed\, memories of whom live on in the moments we shared together. Deep Dark Shine by Erkki-Sven Tüür makes light shine in the depths. The Ring of Fire and Love by Outi Tarkiainen\, commissioned jointly by the Kymi Sinfonietta\, Jyväskylä Sinfonia and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra examines the volcanic belt that surrounds the Pacific Ocean\, the bright ring of sunlight around the moon at the height of a solar eclipse\, and the wonder of birth. \nJustė Janulytė’s The Colour of Water transports saxophonist Joonatan Rautiola across the waves and the water’s mirror-like reflections. The music of Adams’ Become River broadens out into a delta of melodic streams flowing toward the depths. The concert is part of the “Waves! Light and Sound in Kotka” festival coordinated by the City of Kotka. \nConductor: Olari Elts\nSoloist: Joonatan Rautiola\, saxophone\nLighting: Niko Tiainen \nProgram: \nKaija Saariaho: Terra Memoria (version for string orchestra)\nErkki-Sven Tüür: Deep Dark Shine (Finnish premiere)\nOuti Tarkiainen: The Ring of Fire and Love  \nJustė Janulytė:The Colour of Water (Finnish premiere)\nJohn Luther Adams: Become River

SUMMARY:SPARKLING ITALIAN OPERA
DESCRIPTION:Opera is Italy’s gift to the world\, and to guide us on our journey to its very sources is one of our two new Artistic Partners\, Topi Lehtipuu. The sparkling classics range in this concert from the early 17th-century Baroque to the 19th century in the company of masters of this impressive dramatic genre. At the heart of the programme is the overture to Monteverdi’s Orfeo\, which has gone down in history as the first great opera. \nFollowing it are some arias by the late-Baroque master Vivaldi and two 19th-century operatic ‘giants’\, Donizetti and Rossini. Bringing us up to the present day is Thierry Escaich’s Baroque Song inspired by the chorale preludes of J.S. Bach. The star soloist is mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg. \nConductor: Topi Lehtipuu\nSoloist: Ann Hallenberg\, mezzo-soprano \nProgram:\nClaudio Monteverdi: Overture to the opera ‘Orfeo’\nAntonio Vivaldi: Opera arias\nThierry Escaich: Baroque Song\nGaetano Donizetti: String quartet (Allegro)\, arr. for string orchestra\nGaetano Donizetti: Opera arias\nGioachino Rossini: Giovanna d’Arco\, cantata for mezzo-soprano and orchestra (arr.

SUMMARY:CHAMBER RECITAL – RAHMANINOV 150
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sergei Rachmaninov – a composer\, first-rate pianist and conductor who ended up emigrating from Russia to the United States. The programme for this concert curated by the leader of our second violins\, Sergei Tiutiunik\, includes three small-scale works brimming with late-Romantic longing in which the piano\, played by Irina Zahharenkova\, occupies a very special role. \nWe also dip into three life-affirming pieces by Fritz Kreisler\, who likewise emigrated to the United States\, in his case from Austria-Hungary\, and the brilliantly effervescent violin sonata no. 8 by Ludwig van Beethoven. \n  \nEnsemble: \nRaymond Cox\, violin\nSergei Tiutiunik\, violin\nSisu Sieppala\, violin\nOliver Erlich\, cello\nIrina Zahharenkova\, piano \nProgram: \nLudwig van Beethoven: Violin sonata no. 8 in G major\, op. 30/3  \nSergei Rahmaninov: \nPrelude and Oriental Dance\, op. 2 \nVocalise\, op. 34 no. 14 \nFritz Kreisler: \nSchön Rosmarin \nLiebesleid \nCaprice Viennois\, op. 2 \nSergei Rahmaninov: Trio Élégiaque no. 2 in D minor\, op. 9

SUMMARY:MOVIE CONCERT – CHAPLIN’S THE GOLD RUSH
DESCRIPTION:The Kymi Sinfonietta’s ultra-popular series of movie concerts continues with the evergreen Chaplin classic The Gold Rush\, with a live accompaniment to the original silent movie of 1925.

Based on the plot of the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska\, the film and the live music composed for it have been delighting viewers ever since. \nChaplin’s knack of combining comedy with drama simply never fails. The score provides not just background music; it captures the very essence of the characters and events. \nThe film lasts 88 minutes. \nConductor: Kimmo Tullila

SUMMARY:BACHS AND BEETHOVEN
DESCRIPTION:Works by the early Classical era feature far less often in the repertoire of the orchestral giants than those by Mozart or Haydn. Tonight is therefore a major exception\, focusing as it does on compositions by two of the great Johann Sebastian’s sons: Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann. \nThe programme also includes a Fantasia for solo piano by C.P.E.\, performed on a fortepiano. Beethoven’s third piano concerto operates in very different worlds\, though the listener may still detect echoes of the earlier Bachs. For the symphony by C.P.E. is separated from the Beethoven concerto by only a quarter of a century! \nLeader: Raymond Cox\nSoloist: Joonas Ahonen\, piano & fortepiano \nProgram:\nC.P.E. Bach: Symphony in E-flat major\, Wq. 179\nW.F. Bach: Symphony in F major\, F. 67\nC.P.E. Bach: Fantasia in C major\, Wq. 59/6\nLudwig van Beethoven: Piano concerto no. 3

SUMMARY:COMPELLING CELLO
DESCRIPTION:The Kymi Sinfonietta welcomes German conductor Jascha von der Goltz\, who gained widespread international attention on winning the first prize in the International Panula Conducting Competition in 2021. At the heart of the concert is one of the most challenging\, intense works in all cello literature\, the first cello concerto by Dmitri Shostakovich. \nThe soloist in this compelling work is Polish Maciej Kułakowski\, who rose to fame on winning the first prize and a special award in the 2015 Lutosławski Competition. The concert begins with Langsamer Satz\, a little late-Romantic masterpiece by Webern conjuring up the stark tranquillity of the Austrian mountains. The icing on the cake is Beethoven’s captivating\, rhythmic seventh symphony. \n  \nConductor: Jascha von der Goltz \nSoloist: Maciej Kułakowski\, cello \nProgram:\nAnton Webern: Langsamer Satz (transcription\, arr. for string orchestra: Gerard Schwartz)\nDmitri Shostakovich: Cello concerto no. 1 in E-flat major\, op. 107\nLudwig van Beethoven: Symphony no. 7

SUMMARY:MOZART & VASKS
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s conductor\, Juha Kangas – “father” of the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra – has reaped many accolades and distinctions in the course of an extensive and varied career both at home in Finland and abroad.

SUMMARY:SAMULI EDELMANN: VAIHEET
DESCRIPTION:In 1997\, Samuli Edelmann released an album called Vaiheet that soon achieved cult status. It featured settings by his father\, Toni Edelmann\, of texts by Goethe\, Hesse\, Shakespeare and others. The album was a major recording project with a symphony orchestra in Paris\, but Edelmann has never before performed it in full with an orchestra in Finland. The individual songs have\, however\, acquired a prominent role in his repertoire. Following the death of his father\, Samuli released a second album\, Vaiheet 2\, of his father’s compositions. And here at last we are honoured to present the best-loved items from the Vaiheet albums with a big orchestra. \nSamuli Edelmann\, vocals \nJukka Perko\, saxophone \nLeri Leskinen\, keyboards & electronics \nMatti Paatelma\, piano \nIlkka Herkman\, mixing
