Marzi Nyman: Electric Guitar Concerto, world premiere
Brett Dean: Carlo
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and all-around artist Marzi Nyman, long-standing Artistic Partner of the Tapiola Sinfonietta and an audience favourite, presents a new concerto written for his favourite orchestra, featuring a solo instrument extremely rare in the classical repertoire: the electric guitar. In recent years, Marzi has been moving into the realm of art music with the orchestra, and the new Concerto takes it up a notch. Marzi is a skilled orchestrator and a virtuoso on his own instrument, which raises great expectations for this new work – but we must also expect the unexpected! The Concerto is programmed, appropriately, in the Indie series. What else is on the programme? That must remain a secret for time being, but we can guarantee you need to be there.
Afterparty in the foyer following the concert.

Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is particularly remembered for its beautiful Adagietto for strings and harp, which was heard in Visconti’s film Death in Venice, at President Kennedy’s funeral, and at memorial services for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
At the first After Work event of the spring, we will admire cellist Nicolas Altstaedt’s joie de vivre!
