The annual Nordic Music Days will be held again this year in Helsinki. As usual, the festival presents a wide range of contemporary Nordic music. This year’s theme extends a geographical handshake to Scotland, as Avant’s Forward! concert will feature the Clarinet Concerto by Scottish composer Helen Grime, with Lauri Sallinen as soloist. The chamber opera Traum, composed by Swedish composer Magnus Bunnskog, features soprano Mia Heikkinen and baritone Joonas Asikainen as soloists. The concert will be conducted by Anna-Maria Helsing.
The Forward! concert is the second part of a two-concert series on Friday evening, the first of which will feature the Zagros Ensemble in the Shadows of Silence.
