RSO & Musica nova Helsinki Ustina Dubitsky, Wolfgang Mitterer, Joonatan Rautiola
Event Introduction
Time to see things differently – or rather, to hear them! Whether it’s Yiqing Zhu’s saturated soundscape, Ashley Fure’s sonic reinvention of Coleridge or a brand new saxophone concerto from the teeming imagination of Minna Leinonen (played by its dedicatee Joonatan Rautiola), the Musica nova festival celebrates the possibilities of music right here and right now. Ustina Dubitsky conducts, and Wolfgang Mitterer is the soloist in his own dazzling Out of Time.
Note! Pre-concert talk 6–6:30pm Lower Foyer: New work! Composer Minna Leinonen discusses her new saxophone concerto with Eva Tigerstedt.
