The homunculus, the “little man” of ancient alchemy, was a wild and unruly test-tube being. Esa-Pekka Salonen’s miniature string quartet likewise distills its material into something charged with primal vitality. A leading voice in the British women’s movement, Ethel Smyth composed her way through glass ceilings; her string trio glows with light and feeling. In the atmospheric trumpet arias, Tamás Mészáros’s virtuosity turns into gold.
The concert is hosted by composer Minna Leinonen. The concert lasts approximately two hours and includes an intermission.
