This Crusell Music Festival concert travels the seven seas, seamlessly combining old and new music. The festival is organised in co-operation with WWF Finland, and for every purchased ticket we will be donating one euro to support Baltic Sea conservation efforts.
Feel the breeze of the Baltic Sea when the concert opens with Aulis Sallinen’s beautiful and tranquil piece Rauhan meri (‘The Sea of Peace’). From the Pacific Ocean, we hear pieces by Nicanor Aberlado and Ananda Sukarlan, which have probably never before been performed in Finland. Aberlado’s soft and melodic piece was originally composed for the cello, and Sukarlan’s piece is inspired by the story of Ariadne from Greek mythology.
A collection of three etudes with a water theme will be heard from Gilles Silvestrini’s work for solo oboe, and Aleksandr Glazunov’s romantic Rêverie orientale takes us on a trip to the east. The Mediterranean is represented by Antonio Vivaldi’s impressive and virtuosic sonata. The concert also includes Johann Christoph Pez’s Sinfonia for oboe and continuo, presumably the first sonata composed for oboe.
