Conductor, Composer and Violinist Jaakko Kuusisto Enjoys An
Conductor, composer and violinist Jaakko Kuusisto enjoys an extensive career that was launched by a series of successes in international violin competitions in the 1990s. Having recorded concertos by some of the most prominent Finnish contemporary composers, such as Rautavaara, Aho, Sallinen and Pulkkis, he is one of the most frequently recorded Finnish instrumentalists. When BIS Records launched a project of complete Sibelius recordings, Kuusisto had a major role in the violin works and string chamber music. Moreover, his discography contains several albums outside the classical genre. Kuusisto’s conducting repertoire is equally versatile and ranges from baroque to the latest new works, regardless of genre. He has worked with many leading orchestras, including Minnesota Orchestra; Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide Symphony Orchestras; NDR Hannover, DeFilharmonie in Belgium; Chamber Orchestras of Tallinn and Lausanne; Helsinki, Turku and Tampere Philharmonic Orchestras; Oulu Symphony Orchestra as well as the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra. Kuusisto recently conducted his debut performances with the Krakow Sinfonietta and Ottawa’s National Arts Center Orchestra, as well as at the Finnish National Opera’s major production Indigo, an opera by heavy metal cello group Apocalyptica’s Eicca Toppinen and Perttu Kivilaakso. The score of the opera is also arranged and orchestrated by Kuusisto. Kuusisto performs regularly as soloist and chamber musician and has held the position of artistic director at several festivals. Currently he is the artistic director of the Oulu Music Festival with a commitment presently until 2017. Kuusisto also enjoys a longstanding relationship with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra: having served as concertmaster during 1999-2012, his collaboration with the orchestra now continues with frequent guest conducting and recordings, to name a few. -

Žagajo«! Ljubljana | 6
Ocena koncerta Finci dobro »žagajo«! Ljubljana | 6. 6. 2006 | Boštjan Tušek/S. M. Apocalyptica, kultni trojec finskih čelistov, je kljub nizkim temperaturam uspešno dvigoval temperaturo na koncertu v Križankah. Primorska pevka Lara Baruca, po novem Lara-B, je imela tokrat nalogo, da ogreje publiko. To ji je bolj ali manj uspelo v tričetrturnem nastopu, v katerem je predstavila udarno mešanico novejših in starejših skladb. Poleg trših zvokov, kakršne najdemo tudi na njenem zadnjem albumu Mindhacker, se je Lara predstavila tudi v precej sveži in odštekani odrski podobi. Čekeliš) Dare (Foto: Metalski napad klasičnih instrumentov ... bi lahko označili glasbo Apocalyptice, ki je v avditoriju Križank udarila nekaj minut po deseti uri. Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lotjonen in Perttu Kivilaakso (ki jim na živih nastopih pomaga še Antero Manninen, ki nenehno nosi skrivnostna črna očala), so že pred desetletjem odkrili popolnoma svojo zvrst glasbe. Takrat so izdali album (Plays Metallica by Four Cellos) s priredbami pesmi Metallice, ki jim je poleg edinstvenega klasično-metalskega zvoka tudi hitro prinesel številne oboževalce in množico prodanih plošč. V dobri uri in pol se je tako zvrstilo precej skladb iz njihove desetletne kariere, med katerimi so bile najbolj z navdušenjem sprejete Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Seek and Destroy (vse priredbe Metallice), pozabili pa niso niti na svoje stvaritve, kot sta Path No. 2 in Repressed. Težko je spregledati dejstvo, da Apocalyptica najbolje deluje prav na živih nastopih, saj je prek CD in DVD predvajalnikov zelo težko podoživeti energijo, ki jo ti čarovniki s klasičnimi instrumenti oddajajo na odru. Poleg tega pa nastope začinijo z veščim metalskim opletanjem z lasmi, ki ga obvladata Perttu in Eicca, slednji pa je med posameznimi skladbami poskrbel tudi za simpatične komentarje in napovedi v »finski« angleščini. -

Then we would like to introduce you briefly Bonsaï Music. Bonsaï Music takes its first steps in 2004 in the music industry and has been quickly catalogued as a “Jazz record label”. However this image is a little simplistic because we believe that “Jazz” is more a musical philosophy than a specific musical genre. For thirteen years our work consisted in reconciling jazz and popular music and then promote and release Artists albums that can be enjoyed by jazz fans and lay people with this musical genre. The characteristics that most defines Bonsaï Music is our constant search of melody and/or great voices. -

The Human Machine 2013
The Human Machine 2013 Symposium Programme Turku, Finland 13th – 15th August Sibelius Museum, Piispankatu 17 What is Aboagora? 3 Why Aboagora? 3 The Human Machine 4 Programme 5 Agora speakers 6 Workshops 9 Aboagora Concerts 18 Machine Sounds 20 Flame Jazz 21 Trouble in Tahiti 21 Flame Jazz Piano Trio Music 22 Music in Candle Light 23 Past Events 25 Venues of Aboagora Symposium 27 ABOAGORA 2013 HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY: Turku 2011 Foundation Kone Foundation Svenska Kulturfonden Stiftelsen för Åbo Akademi Donner Institute and Turku University Foundation WHAT IS ABOAGORA? he aim of Aboagora is to question and deconstruct the juxtapositions be- tween the arts and sciences, to establish new kinds of dialogical connec- Ttions and to develop experimental models for academic and artistic expres- sion. Aboagora promotes dialogue between the arts, humanities and sciences by bringing scholarly debates together with the arts and also by combining artistic expression with scholarly events. The name ‘Aboagora’ refers to both Turku (in Latin Aboa) and agora, a meeting place or marketplace. The idea of Aboagora is to create an open forum for thinking and debate and to challenge and break boundaries between the arts and the scholarly world. Aboagora aims at encouraging new research, new art and new kinds of encounters between the two. Aboagora is a marketplace of open codes: it provides a common forum for academics, artists and the public. This forum is based on openness and open- minded crossing over of different levels. WHY ABOAGORA? he gap between the arts and sciences is a product of history, not an inher- ent given.
