Finnish Premiere of Louilarpprasert's Ptera for orchestra and sound objects by Helsinki Philharmonic

Under the curation of Tuuli Lindeberg, music director of Musica nova Helsinki 2025, Piyawat Louilarpprasert's, Ptera for orchestra and sound objects, will be featured in a prestigious concert at Music Centre / Musiikkitalo: Concert Hall, Helsinki. Conducted by André de Ridder, this performance is part of Musica nova, a biennial festival that showcases the latest in contemporary music and timeless classics to Finnish audiences. The festival is renowned for introducing composers making their mark on the international stage and fostering connections between contemporary music and other artistic genres.

In this concert, the festival delves into Networks, hierarchies, organisms, rituals, ecosystems, trust, dependency relationships. The music creates the intricate dynamics that emerge between individuals—like those in a symphony orchestra, where musicians collectively create a richly resonant musical world. Each composer in this concert, including Piyawat, brings a unique approach to exploring the layers of the orchestra, instrument groups, timbres, textures, and intonations, offering a profound reflection on the complex relationships within musical communities.
