Mas­ter’s de­gree con­cert: Ella Män­nik­kö, viola

Ella Männikkö’s Master’s degree concert “Breathing”

Cover picture made by Helena Vuola based on one of Ella's poems.

“Welcome to my master concert, where I search my own voice as an artist by discovering the possibilities of different genres and art forms. The program includes the premiere of Tuomas Kettunen’s piece “Breathing”, which Kettunen composed inpired by my blog text. We’ll also play classical persian music with colours from western classical music.
