Superpluck Club vol. 6 Issho ni (一緒に)

Event Introduction

In this Grand Finale to the Superpluck series of contemporary-music clubs Rody van Gemert, Eija Kankaanranta and Assi Karttunen dive deep into the eddies of new Japanese and Finnish music while at the same time setting their sights on new horizons in the direction of Spain. The club will also be tasting some Japanese goodies and talking to Lasse Lehtonen, Research Fellow in Asian research and musicology and Tuuli Lindeberg, Artistic Director of Musica nova.

Superpluck is a Helsinki trio formed by Rody van Gemert (guitar), Eija Kankaanranta (kantele) and Assi Karttunen (harpsichord) focusing on contemporary music and inspired by the sound, tones and contrasts of this unique line-up and working with composers. Following its debut in November 2019, the trio has given performances in Finland and twice toured to Japan. It has commissioned and premiered over 20 works by Finnish and Japanese composers including Osmo Tapio Räihälä, Akira Kobayashi and Mioko Yokoyama. Since 2022, it has also organised a series of contemporary-music clubs of its own with funds from the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
