Avanti! will visit Ismo Eskelinen’s “Guitar World – Global Guitar” concert series at Verkatehta on 19 March 2016.
In Guitar World, the harmonic and precise polyphony of Western music meets the improvisational virtuosity of classical Asian music. In this second concert, the journey takes us far to the East. The concert, based around India and China, features Ghatam Karthick and the chamber orchestra Avanti! Eero Hämeenniemi’s work for guitar and ghatam will be premiered, along with the Finnish premiere of Tan Dun’s Concerto for Six.
