Re:Sonata is an ambitious concert project created by the collaboration between the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Classical Trancelations team in which new interpretations bring the most famous themes of orchestral music into the present day.
Joining the orchestra on stage will be Petri “Lowland” Alanko and Pessi Levanto, whose visionary arrangements and live electronic layers reimagine works by composers such as Bach, Sibelius, Beethoven and Ravel.
“I have lived and breathed these works since I was a young boy, and when the opportunity arose to create a tribute to the masters of the past... I simply had to say 'yes'. Arranging them was one massive wave of goosebumps after another, and once I got going, I did not even want to sleep,” says Petri “Lowland” Alanko.
The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Classical Trancelations team have worked together for the past ten years. Classical Trancelations in Concert was first performed at the Helsinki Festival in 2016. Since then, these concerts have become a true phenomenon and drawn audiences numbering in the thousands to venues such as the Helsinki Arena (now Veikkaus Arena) and Musiikkitalo – Helsinki Music Centre. Online streams and television broadcasts of the concerts have reached audiences of millions around the world.
Tickets 29,5-75,5 € Musiikkitalo box office and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra website.
