NYKY Ensemble performs

Overture: NYKY Ensemble 

The NYKY Ensemble, Sibelius Academy’s contemporary music ensemble, will perform Andrew Norman’s string trio ‘The Companion Guide to Rome’ as a prelude to the Helsinki Philharmonic concert. This performance celebrates Andrew Norman’s visit to the Academy as a visiting composition teacher.

The string trio, inspired by nine Roman churches, evolves from musical reflections on architecture and art into character sketches of imagined companions, representing the composer’s experience in the Eternal City. In this performance, the NYKY Ensemble consists of Juliana Pöyry (violin), Mariette Reefman (viola), and Joanna Hanhikoski (cello), coached by violist Atte Kilpeläinen.

NYKY Ensemble 

NYKY Ensemble is a contemporary music group of Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, which serves as a forum for contemporary music projects and provides perspectives on the trends and techniques of our time, such as expanded playing techniques, live electronics, microtonality, minimalism or cross-disciplinary artistic cooperation. The composition of the ensemble depends on the pieces to be presented at any given time, and the visiting supervisor in each concert period is a musician or ensemble specialising in contemporary music.
