“Technical challenges don't bother me if the piece has substance,” says star violinist Leila Josefowicz. “I only play music I love.”

In tonight’s concert, composer and conductor Daníel Bjarnason conducts the Finnish premiere of his new work. “When I conduct my own works, I am happy to accept suggestions from the orchestra. Sometimes they know better what works and what doesn’t.” Bjarnason’s orchestral trilogy draws its inspiration from questions related to the nature of consciousness: What does it mean to be alive?
