Friday
March 14th. Sitting in the train on the way to Tampere (after a flight from
Stockholm to Helsinki).
Tonight I
will have my début in Toronto in Canada and I’m so excited about it! It’s my
friend (and composer) Paolo Griffin who is organizing a really nice concert in
Toronto with the name and theme “Northern Connections – The Music of Finland
and Canada. My piece Loco Op.17 for solo viola will be performed by the
Canadian viola player Emma Vachon-Tweney. Can’t wait to hear from Paolo how it
went!
Here is
what Paolo has written about the concert (in the Facebook event):
The first
in a series of concerts hosted by New Music Toronto,
Northern
Connections is a concert celebrating the striking similarities and differences,
between the countries of Canada and Finland. Our two countries share many
things; people with an affinity for the outdoors, great swaths of forest, bone
chilling winters, and a love of good music.
As a bonus,
there will be refreshments served afterwards, including one or two Finnish
snacks.
