NYKY Ensemble: Body-mind
Sibelius Academy’s NYKY Ensemble performs an international selection of chamber music pieces of our times.
The concert pieces strive for different moods, ranging from meditative stars and moonlight moments to joyful dance. As a special pedagogical point of the concert, the focus is on leading a chamber group, communication between musicians and managing each other through bodily presence and movements.
The programming of the concert also involves political issues related to modern music, such as dismantling the unequal gender distribution of composers and European-centred composition, or, as a current issue, music by Ukrainian composers.

NYKY Ensemble
NYKY Ensemble is a contemporary music group of Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, which serves as a forum for contemporary music projects and provides perspectives on the trends and techniques of our time, such as expanded playing techniques, live electronics, microtonality, minimalism or cross-disciplinary artistic cooperation.
