Korvat auki! (Ears Open!)
New Music from Finland
Saturday, November 1, 2:30
Local soloists and the Oberlin Contemporary Ensemble gather to offer a concert devoted to the contemporary music of Finland. Recognized for its commitment to classical music both old and new in a myriad of ways (from education programs to a remarkable support system for composers), Finland has produced an array of noted composers, including those on our program:
Kaija Saariaho (
Terrestre)
Jukka Tiensuu (
Drang for solo guitar)
Olli Kortekangas (
Ecrit sur le vent et l'eau and A Fantasia on Two Hymns)
Magnus Lindberg (
Corrente)
Aulis Sallinen (
Chaconne)
