Sebastian Silén – Jean Sibelius and Nordic Dances
Sebastian Siléns third doctoral concert explores how Sibelius’s dances for violin and piano fit into the Nordic musical landscape.
This is done by performing Sibelius’ works for violin and piano alongside works by other Nordic composers. The repertoire includes many Nordic works for violin and piano which are virtually unknown in Finland.
Due to the character of the repertoire the concert setting draws inspiration from the musical salons of the late nineteenth century and aim to present a more casual concert atmosphere. The doctoral researcher Sebastian Silén will also briefly introduce the works and place them in a cultural setting.
The concert is aimed for all audiences who are interested in charming works for violin and piano, Nordic music, or listeners interested in a relaxing concert experience.
Programme
- Sibelius, Gade, Henriques, Aulin, Röntgen, Grieg, Halvorsen
Performers
- Sebastian Silén, violin
- Satu Elijärvi, piano
