The story behind the collaboration with Saariaho

During her career, Kaija Saariaho worked with several important musicians, conductors and directors. They were essential in the development and performance of her oeuvre. During the Saariaho Festival, four masterclasses will highlight these special relationships.

The successful Finnish string quartet Meta4 had a special bond with Saariaho. Not only did the quartet release several CDs with compositions by Saariaho, Meta4 also collaborated on her chamber opera Only the Sound Remains. In this masterclass, the musicians of Meta4 will share their knowledge and skills with young and upcoming conservatory students. Experience it up close.

TIP: During the concert on Friday 14 March at 8:15 PM, Meta4 will present Saariaho's relationship with the string quartet.
