Oulunsalo Soi: Extremities

This concert outlines the borders of Europe. 🌍 Where is Iceland? Is Ukraine part of Europe? We will also explore the limits of virtuosity as Antti Tikkanen and Minna Pensola take on Ysaÿe's sonata for two violins.

Bacewicz's string quartet, meanwhile, pushes entertainment to its extremes.
