O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra: Cosmic Spaces

Event Introduction

Violinist Hugo Ticciati devised the praised O/Modernt music concept in 2011, which has since taken the form of a festival, composition competitions and publications. Among the brightest stars of Ticciati’s concept is the string orchestra O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra, consisting of top European players. Its programme follows the motto borrowed from composer John Cage: “Invent the past. Revise the future.”

The Estonian master composer Arvo Pärt has a special place in the heart of the British violinist now living in Sweden and in the concert of O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra. Pärt’s music fits the orchestra’s motto, since the composer has both drawn inspiration from the past and set new directions for the future.

The Helsinki Festival concert connects Pärt’s works with the music of, for example, British musician Sting and renaissance composer Josquin des Prez.
