You shall be my oar!
At last, it is time again for chamber music and poetry at the Finnish Institute! In the first programme of the spring, You Shall Be My Oar!, a poetic cycle takes shape as Gunnar Ekelöf’s lifelong and ardent fascination with Edith Södergran comes into focus. Their voices meet in a quiet yet charged dialogue, performed by actors Stina Ekblad and Hannes Meidal. Framing the words, the musicians Henrik Blixt, Emmanuel Laville, and Asuka Nakamura presents French-Finnish chamber‑music gems by Lili Boulanger, Kalevi Aho, Matthew Witthall, Alexandre Tansman, and Francis Poulenc.
