    Oulunsalo Soi: Red Nose Company & Meta4 – VOCES

    Location TBC

    The hugely popular theatre group Red Nose Company brings its new production Voces -- Inner Voices to Oulu. This staged concert for two clowns and the Meta4 string quartet combines the most beautiful chamber music classics with theatrical storytelling. There will be laughter -- but you may want to prepare for tears as well. The performance is built around Jean Sibelius's string quartet Voces Intimae, but also features music from Beethoven to Saariaho. At the time of composing the piece, a throat tumor caused Sibelius to fear death. The performance takes this as its starting point. Audience comments: "Magnificent, sacred, and funny!" "Voces showed how music can take the mind deep within itself. A brilliant combination of clowns and chamber music carried the audience along." "Red Nose Company entertains and surprises! Astonishingly refined and fearless -- such versatile art!" Red Nose Company Timo Ruuskanen Tuukka Vasama Meta4 Minna Pensola, violin Antti Tikkanen, violin Atte Kilpeläinen, viola Tomas Djupsjöbacka, cello Duration: 2 h 15 min, including intermission The concert includes music from Finland, Estonia, Germany/England, and Italy/Norway.
