Global Spring: The Percussionist’s Mind
Dialogue with Vija Moore, Sami Karkar and Markus Snellman
The relationship percussionists share with sound and rhythm is deeply rooted in the everyday auditory experiences that surround us. From the hum of a washing machine to the rumble of thunder or the delicate sounds of raindrops, every sound becomes a potential source of expression in the hands and minds of percussionists.
This discussion delves into the creative processes of three Global music students – Vija Moore, Sami Karkar, and Markus Snellman – as they unveil their compositional inspirations, elucidate their methods of communication with fellow musicians, and articulate their unique artistic expressions as percussionists. Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of rhythm and sonic innovation through their perspectives.

Mannerheimintie renovation project
Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.
