The Argentinian composer, pianist and conductor Guillermo Klein was the artistic partner of the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra during 2020–2021 and he now returns to conduct the orchestra, bringing with him a commissioned work for UMO as the orchestra is nearing its 50th anniversary season. This concert is an overture to UMO’s anniversary season, celebrated from the summer of 2025 until the spring of 2026.
– To celebrate UMO and the orchestra’s 50th anniversary in 2025, I’m writing a concerto which brings every orchestra musician into the spotlight. In addition to the concerto, we’re performing music inspired by Argentine and Finnish tango. I’m really excited to be returning to Helsinki, says Klein.
The evening will get a Scandinavian touch when Swedish jazz singer and improviser Sophie Dunér interprets Klein’s composition Lo Perdido.
