#3159: New Music from Finland
There’s music from Finland for this New Sounds, which is a musical hotbed of many genres: classical, folk, weirdly dressed heavy metal rock bands, and some of the less easily defined new music types. We’ll hear from accordion virtuoso Maria Kalaniemi along with something else for accordion (& electronics) by Kimmo Pohjonen.
Plus, there’s also music by multi-instrumentalist Pekka Pohjola, who was best known as a bass player, of the jazz-inflected (maybe even proggy) variety. We might also hear music by Einojuhani Rautavaara, and perhaps even “Winter was Hard,” by composer Aulis Sallinen in a Kronos Quartet performance. All that, and more.
