Watch a free livestream of the concert
The Portuguese word Catavento translates as wind vane, which is a device that turns towards the direction of the wind, serving as a metaphor and the guiding principle throughout singer-composer Kata Vuoristo’s concert. It symbolizes the ever-evolving, fluid nature of a global musician’s identity, shaped by inspiration and immersion into different musical traditions, places, and communities.
Catavento is an exploration into the fluidity of one’s identity and a tribute to the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. Kata examines the development of her musicianship and the ways in which it has evolved throughout her recent years traveling and composing, particularly focusing on her recent field trip to Brazil, which was a journey undertaken solely for this artistic exploration.
Vuoristo’s compositions draw inspiration from the rich musical traditions of Brazil, Portugal, and her homeland, Finland. Featuring musicians from diverse backgrounds, this concert showcases how intercultural immersion has influenced her music. Catavento presents compositions ranging from dreamlike melancholy to captivating rhythms, and harmonious a cappella arrangements.
