  Finnish accordionist Mika Väyrynen will present a concert, ‘Danse Macabre’, on March 31st at the Helsinki Music Center, Camerata Theater, at 7pm, where he will perform the world premieres of two new solo works for accordion. The new works to be premiered are ‘Peer Gynt Fantasy’, by Paavo Korpijaakko, and ‘The Sound of Ice’, by Pasi Lyytikäinen. The concert program will bring romantic music and virtuosic transcriptions together with new original music. Mika Väyrynen has worked with the composers to write their new works, and requested pieces to be in romantic style, or at least having romantic ideals such as tonality, virtuosity, a large scale of interpretational elements with freedom in tempi and dynamics. Mika even suggested the possibility of using some famous romantic themes and Paavo Korpijaakko used some famous melodies from Edvard Grieg's ‘Peer Gynt’ suite in his new work. Mika is sure these accordion pieces will generate tremendous interest among accordionists. Mika Väyrynen has been very proactive in working with composers to secure new works for the accordion, and has presented numerous world premieres by composers including Bogdan Prez, Matti Murto, Jouni Kaipainen, Leif Segerstam, Juhani Nuovala, Tuomas Kantelinen, Olli Kortekangas, Aulis Sallinen, Kimmo Lintinen, Paavo Korpijaakko, Pehr Henrik Nordgren, Jaakko Kuusisto, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Matti Murto, Anatoli Kusjakov, Paavo Korpijaakko, and Kari Rydman. In addition to the world premiere performances, Mika will present works by Bach, Grieg, Galinin, Rachmaninov and Saint-Saens/Horowitz. For more information, please visit" Mika Väyrynen |
