Johannes Brahms: Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115 (35’)
Nora Niskanen, clarinet
Kari Olamaa, violin
Teija Kivinen, violin
Tiila Kangas, viola
Jaakko Rajamäki, cello
“It has long been my dream to perform Brahms' clarinet quintet. It has travelled with me, the caressing sound of the clarinet comforting me in times of trouble and, at other moments, stirring up great happiness in me. It seemed appropriate to name the concert Dreams, since now I get to make this dream come true.”
- Teija Kivinen, artistic designer of the concert.
