Taru Ensemble -Season "Vox Mundi"- Zwischen Fjord und Amazonas
Museum Allschwil
Baslerstrasse 48, 4123 Allschwil
The Taru Ensemble kicks off the “Vox Mundi” season with “Between the Fjord and the Amazon.” A rich musical dialogue between Finland, Brazil, and Venezuela, full of energy, poetry, and cultural encounters.
From the fjords of the North to the rivers of the Amazon: This concert invites you on a musical journey across continents.
With “Between Fjord and Amazon,” the Taru Ensemble kicks off its new Vox Mundi season. The concert series is dedicated to the diverse musical voices of our world and brings to life how people, cultures, and stories are connected through music.
The season’s first program takes us from Finland to Brazil and Venezuela. Nordic soundscapes meet rousing rhythms, and folk traditions encounter contemporary forms of expression. Works by Timo Alakotila, Heitor Villa-Lobos, José Elizondo, and Aldemaro Romero tell stories of origin, movement, and cultural exchange.
Amid Brazilian vibrancy, Venezuelan virtuosity, and Finnish sonic poetry, a lively dialogue emerges, full of contrasts, energy, and surprising connections. A concert for everyone who loves musical discoveries and is eager to explore new worlds of sound.
