Ryan Bancroft, conductor Anni Elif, vocalistCaroline Shaw: Punctum Heta Aho: Once, world premiere Johannes Brahms: Serenade no. 1 in D major op. 11One of Finland’s best-known schlagers of all time is all about ‘golden youth’, and this festival is all about looking back. Caroline Shaw, in Punctum for strings, explores nostalgia and memories, going right back to Bach. The ancient Greeks coined the concept of ‘nostalgia’ by combining nostos (‘return home’) with algos (‘pain’). Author Juha Itkonen, artist-in-residence with the Tapiola Sinfonietta, and composer Heta Aho have created a new work 'Once' on the theme of the festival, with singer, cellist and performance artist Anni Elif as soloist. Brahms was 33 years old when he wrote his delicious Serenade in D major op. 11; in his case, this may be described as a youthful work.The concert forms part of the programme of the Youth Festival.Pre-discussion at Tapiola Hall at 18:00: Composer Heta Aho, librettist Juha Itkonen and vocalist Anni Elif will discuss their premiere piece "Once" and the related festival theme of youth.Subscriptions: Platinum and GoldLive stream on Tapiola Sinfonietta YouTube channel 11.4.2024 at 7pm: https://youtube.com/live/XQuS1TQXdT8?Tapiola Sinfonietta Kevät 2024
