Hallowed Lungs: Kimmo Pohjonen, Mikko Helenius & Tuomas Norvio
A repeat performance of Kimmo Pohjonen's "Hallowed Lungs," which sold out in January. An impressive piece composed for accordion, organ, and electronics.
Breathing, electricity, and the vast architecture of the air are engaged in dialogue in Kimmo Pohjonen’s Hallowed Lungs – a work composed for accordion, organ and electronics.
The history of the instruments – the sanctity of the organ and the mundanity of the accordion – does not result in a contradiction in the composition but generates tension, thereby creating a new space.
Hallowed Lungs sanctifies what once was excluded, and carries a hope to breathe fresh air and a dream of peace. The collaboration of the trio Pohjola, Helenius and Norvio began with Ultra Organ, which premiered in 2017, and continues with Hallowed Lungs.
