A grand piece for a dedicated windband. 1st prize in the Finnish band composition contest "Pirkanmaan Pinna" (2020).
Saarinen, Sauli (b. 1988) has studied trumpet at the Conservatoire of Tampere and conducting at the Sibelius Academy, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and with Jorma Panula at the ‘Panula Academy’. He received his master’s degree in Conducting at the Sibelius Academy in 2022. Since 2023, Saarinen has worked as a conductor in the Conscript Band of the Finnish Defence Forces. Before that, he worked as a sub-principal trumpet in the Guards Band Helsinki and a principal-substitute in Vaasa City Orchestra and Pori Sinfonietta.
Saarinen is a well renowned conductor who conducts music regardless of genre boundaries, and has found himself taking on new challenges on very short notices. In 2021, he conducted the world premiere of the Tze Yeung Ho's modern chamber opera Minn(i)e in Tallinn, Estonia only on a one week notice and in 2022, the opening concert of Xenakis100 Festival in Helsinki only on a three day notice.
The purchase includes both the score and the individual parts in PDF format. Seller: SPOL/The Finnish Windband Association Any enquiries/feedback: spol.toiminnanjohtaja@gmail.com
