Where to? Earth Ears Ensemble
Event Introduction
The Earth Ears Ensemble is happy to return to the 2027 Musica nova festival in a program of musical works that relate sound to place. Junkyard Piece II and Palinode, by composers Ricardo Eizirik and Malin Bång, both use objects that are tied to a specific location and reenvision the relationship between instrumental and non-instrumental sounds. Lauri Supponen’s north was composed based on cardinal directions and considers the awareness that cardinal directions provide in orienting and situating us in time and space. The work premiered in Oslo in 2023 and this performance will be its Finnish Premiere, with revised electronics. The Earth Ears Ensemble has been interested in the idea of revising or reworking existing compositions by living composers. Tiina Myllärinen has composed a new work for the ensemble for this program based on her 2011 work Flash for percussion ensemble, reimagining an older composition for a “new” time and space.
