Albero

Kari Heinilä, flutes; Marko Portin, clarinets Juho Laitinen, cello; Seppo Kantonen, piano

Musicians' and composers' collective Albero was instigated in 2004 by Kari Heinilä to research the common ground between improvisation and contemporary chamber music. Up to this point over 50 original works and arrangements have been created: the influences range from renaissance via dodecaphony and music theatre to Charles Ives and Charles Mingus. In addition to a concert series at Balder Hall in Helsinki the group has made recordings for the Finnish Radio and performed at Time of Music festival in Viitasaari and in Lapua, Vaasa and Porvoo.
