Waves where the Light Dawns

Conductors Elisar Riddelin and Mateusz Gwizdałła join soloist Miikka Taipale and actor Juho Rantonen to create a concert that weaves together music for contemporary string orchestra and the spoken word. The musical and poetic intertwine around experiences of loss and grief, and form perspectives within and without.
