Echo Percussion - Iannis XENAKIS: Pléiades (1978)

University of the Arts Helsinki - Sibelius Academy presents:
Echo Percussion - Pléïades
Echo Percussion performs Iannis Xenakis’s Pléïades for six percussionists (1978)
The title of each of the four movements reflects the musical instruments and soundscapes featured in it. The challenging work is particularly important in terms of its orchestration: the ”sixxen”, an instrument comprised of 19 metal tubes that was constructed by Xenakis himself, plays a key role.
Echo Percussion will start the concert with Elmeri Uusikorpi’s composition Hyades for six percussionists (2020). Uusikorpi composed the piece as a kind of introduction to Pléïades.
Echo Percussion
Echo Percussion is a group of five young percussionists founded in 2020. Echo emerged from the need to return to concert venues after the coronavirus pandemic to perform percussion classics, new commissions and forgotten gems. Echo members are Sibelius Academy alumni and successful freelance musicians with vast experience of playing as soloists, in orchestras and chamber music and contemporary music ensembles.
