Larysa Kuzmenko: Fantasy on a Theme by Beethoven
Jukka Tiensuu: Puro
Franz Schmidt: Symphony No 3 in A Major

There is hardly a contemporary Finnish work for clarinet that has not been written for and/or first performed by Kari Kriikku. This is also the case of Jukka Tiensuu’s clarinet concerto Puro (i.e. “pure” in Italian but also “stream” in Finnish). Ukrainian-Canadian composer Larysa Kuzmenko sets the tone for the evening with Fantasy on a Theme by Beethoven, inspired by the composer’s first symphony, whereas Franz Schmidt’s 3rd symphony was composed in answer to a competition for a symphony ”in the spirit of Schubert”.

Produced by the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra
