Taavi Oramo, tenor and conductor

Meriheini Luoto, violin

Heta Aho: Södergran Songs

Juhani Nuorvala: Variationes ex Bene Quondam

Meriheini Luoto: Metsänpeitto (orch. Kalle Vainio)

In his second profile concert of the season, Taavi Oramo presents young Finnish composers. In three songs to poems by Edith Södergran by Heta Aho, Oramo takes on a second role as he also sings the solo. Juhani Nuorvala transports the listener through periods and styles of music with admirable facility. Meriheini Luoto’s music is like sounds in the forest: intriguing and image-provoking.
