Northern Connection 1: Ensemble Temporum

The Northern Connection project is a partnership between Music Finland, Music Norway, and the Scottish Music Centre, where composers, ensembles, and festivals collaborate to create new works which can be shared with audiences in all three countries.

Oslo-based chamber music group Ensemble Temporum has performed at international festivals such as Ultima, Klang, UNM, Kaivos, Sound, etc, and several concerts have been broadcasted on Norwegian radio. They regularly commission new works and collaborate closely with composers. They visit Glasgow as part of their slow travel tour with a programme that includes Malin Bång’s piano trio, inspired by the clay that is a key element of porcelain, Outi Tarkiainen’s exploration of sensory memory, the low-key, nocturnal sounds of Martin Rane Bauck’s piano quartet, and a Northern Connection project commission from Lauri Supponen.

Outi Tarkiainen (Finland): Sensory Flashbacks 19’
Martin Rane Bauck (Norway): tostados en córdoba en medio de la noche 11’
