The Mondrian Ensemble presents a string trio program with works by Sibelius, Melartin, Saariaho and Wennäkoski. A new composition by Anna-Kaisa Meklin will also be premiered.

The Mondrian Ensemble dedicates its 3rd season program to music for string trio from Finland. It aims to sharpen the senses for the extraordinarily rich musical landscape of this country, from which so many important personalities have emerged.

In addition to the unfinished but nevertheless representative one-movement string trio by Jean Sibelius, the trio by Erkki Melartin, a contemporary of Sibelius who is little known outside Finland, will also be performed.

Kaija Saariaho's "Cloud Trio" from 2009 is an important addition to the string trio repertoire, while "Sinne" by Lotta Wennäkoski also features music from the younger generation.

In addition, a new work by the Basel-based Finnish gambist, improviser and composer Anna-Kaisa Meklin will be created especially for this program.
