The afternoon sun filters through the leaves, revealing the many facets of chamber music: Sonata by Tampere-based Tuomas Turriago pays fittingly sharp tribute to the memory of Jouni Kaipainen, while Mel Bonis’s music evokes delicate visions of impressionist forest landscapes. Gioachino Rossini tunes his operatic humor for the cello and double bass, while Pablo de Sarasate’s Spanish rhythms set feet moving.
The concert is hosted by composer Minna Leinonen. The concert lasts approximately two hours and includes an intermission.
