11. Dominante 40th anniversary concert â JUBILEUM
Dominanteâs 40th anniversary will be highlighted with JUBILEUM concert at the Helsinki Music Centre in November: the evening includes premiers and the most impressive works from the history of the choir.
Ordering new music and premieres have been a major part of the choirâs artistic vision. Over the years, the choir has ordered new music both from Finnish and Nordic composers. Commissioned works to be heard in the concert are composed by Matthew Whittall and Dominanteâs Deputy Director Yui Katada. Whittall has composed a three-piece series love is a place based on love poems of E. E. Cummings. Katadaâs UPOPO also consists of three pieces, which are based on stories of the traditions of the Japanese Ainu tribe.
In addition to premieres, the concert also includes plenty of different moods, which are strengthened by lighting and the movement of the choir and soloists. Veljo Tormisâ Raua needmine and Raymond Murray Schaferâs Narcissos and Echo contain strong dramaturgy, where dance acts as a one narrative element. Aulis Sallinenâs humoresque The Beaufort Scale also exceeds the limits of traditional choral singing. Artist Professor Jorma Uotinen is the director and choreographer of the concert.
Jaakko MĂ€ntyjĂ€rviâs Tentatio composed for 40 voices is also very suitable for Dominanteâs 40th anniversary concert. The overview to Dominanteâs programme of previous decades brings up one of our main choral composer Toivo Kuula. His massive âlegacy to Finnish choirsâ, Meren virsi, is heard in the concert performed by a great choir, which includes members of Dominante throughout the history of the choir.
