Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, André de Ridder & Carolin Widmann

Event Introduction

Networks, hierarchies, organisms, rituals, dependency relationships. The Musica nova Helsinki festival explores everything that can happen between individuals.

Networks, hierarchies, organisms, rituals, ecosystems, trust, dependency relationships. The Musica nova Helsinki festival explores everything that can happen between individuals – for example, in a symphony orchestra, a community where musicians together create a richly resonant musical world. The composers featured in this concert each approach the layers of the orchestra, instrument groups, timbres, textures and intonations in their own way.
