Opening concert Saariaho Festival

Asko|Schönberg immediately sets a beginning and an end point in the opening concert of the Saariaho Festival. Graal théâtre for violin and ensemble from 1994 was one of Saariaho's first successful works and the trumpet concerto HUSH from 2023 is her swan song. The concerto written for jazz trumpeter Verneri Pohjola can be seen as a journey through her life. A penetrating work that makes an even greater impression in this ensemble version. Performers are Asko|Schönberg, Verneri Pohjola + Joseph Puglia

Saariaho’s chamber music Het Collectief + Liesbeth Devos

The best way to get to know Kaija Saariaho's work is perhaps her chamber music. Here, her lines of splintered glass and harmonies shaved from ice sound in their most elementary form, often in combination with fanning out electronic sounds. Het Collectief sketches this very own dream world by means of seven interesting works, each of which makes for breathless listening.
