Opening Concert: Märta T., Grooves and Grinds Avanti!, Lautaro Mura Fuentealba, Petri Kumela
Event Introduction
In the Musica nova opening concert at Savoy Theatre, Avanti! presents three world premieres and introduces us to Jesper Nordin, Anahita Abbasi and Slobodan Kajkut. Each of the composers has a unique perspective on the possibilities of music. Nordin is one of Sweden’s leading contemporary composers and a pioneer of musical electronics. Abbasi is known for exploring new expressive reaches in her music. Kajkut brings groove to the core of contemporary expression. Last but not least, we hear Wheel of Fortune by Tuomas Kettunen, written for Riot Ensemble. On the podium is Chilean conductor Lautaro Mura Fuentealba.
