Turku Philharmonic Orchestra´s principal flutist Niamh McKenna shines as a soloist on Thursday 16th of November. Chief Conductor Leif Segerstam conducts the orchestra. We will hear Jean Sibelius´ Pohjola´s Daughter, Aram Khachaturian´s Flute Concerto and Einojuhani Rautavaara´s symphony nro 8. The concert is sold out.

 

Niamh McKenna interprets Khachaturian´s Flute Concerto. McKenna comments the piece: “In my opinion the Khatchaturian concerto is a very passionate, colourful piece. It is rooted in the Armenian folk music, very rhythmical and expressive.”  The piece is a virtuoso adaptation of the composer´s Violin Concerto. “I have always loved this piece, and I think this is the greatest flute concerto in our somewhat limited repertoire”, McKenna tells.

 

McKenna looks forward to playing the piece with the orchestra: “Working on this piece has been like training for a marathon in many ways! It's around 40 minutes long and you need incredible stamina and virtuosic abilities.”

To mark the Jubilee Year celebrating 500 years since the Reformation, the Turku Philharmonic commissioned Pauliina Isomäki to write a festive oratorio. Its world premiere at Turku Cathedral is one of the most significant world premieres of the year. “The Sermon on the Mount laid the foundation for a new conception of morality, our relationship to God and to one another. How did we respond to it in centuries past, and how do we respond to it now? The environment is changing, but people are pretty much the same as they were 2,000 years ago,” says Isomäki, explaining the genesis of the work.

Festive concert: Reformation! Turku cathedral thu 2. and fri 3.11. at 7 pm. Web concert thu 2.11. Ruut Kiiski, conductor, Kaisa Ranta, soprano Jaakko Kortekangas, baritone, Chorus Cathedralis Aboensis, Turku Philharmonic Orchestra. Isomäki. Tickets 23,50/18,50/9,50€.
