The NYKY Ensemble, Sibelius Academy’s contemporary music ensemble, will perform Andrew Norman’s string trio ‘The Companion Guide to Rome’ as a prelude to the Helsinki Philharmonic concert in the Main Foyer. This performance celebrates Andrew Norman’s visit to the Academy as a visiting composition teacher.
The string trio, inspired by nine Roman churches, evolves from musical reflections on architecture and art into character sketches of imagined companions, representing the composer’s experience in the Eternal City. In this performance, the NYKY Ensemble consists of Juliana Pöyry (violin), Mariette Reefman (viola), and Joanna Hanhikoski (cello), coached by violist Atte Kilpeläinen.
Yes, but only before or after the concert. During the concert we just want you to enjoy the music. This way you won’t disturb the musicians or other audience members.
