Ensemble mise-en will perform the work of three living Finnish composers—Kaija Saariaho, Sami Klemola, and Sebastian Hilli—as part of its CONNECTIONS series, in celebration of Finland’s Centennial. Each concert in this series details, explores, and ventures into the titular connections between artistic or cultural groups with unique geographies, traditions, and perspectives.
Exploring temporal distances rather than geographic ones, “Finland – All Generations – 100th Anniversary” also celebrates the work of these composers, each of whom represents a generation of new musical artists working today.
