program

From Piazzolla's tango and Boccherini's fandango to Fagerlund's modern sound explorations, a program unfolds, brimming with rhythmic energy and dance-like impulses. It's a musical opportunity to discover different eras and cultures, from Baroque Spain and Tango Nuevo to contemporary Nordic music.

Characteristic of the concert series presented by the Finnish Music Society is its thematic focus on works by Finnish composers, which are juxtaposed with those of colleagues from around the world across eras and styles in carefully curated programs. In this concert, Finnish modernism is represented by the music of Sebastian Fagerlund. "Come Eco" musically explores the phenomenon of echo: how does a sound change in space, and how does the piece simultaneously reflect echoes from Fagerlund's earlier works? The string players of the Taru Ensemble and guest guitarist Christian Lozano Sedano engage with these questions. Fagerlund's work for guitar and string quartet is framed by Astor Piazzolla's moving Histoire du Tango and Luigi Boccherini's rousing "Fandango" Guitar Quintet.

Before the concert, a convivial "Meet & Greet the Artists" offers an opportunity for personal interaction with the performers. All are welcome!
