The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra’s Clara program connects contemporary Latin American orchestral color with 19th‑century European virtuosity and 20th‑century Soviet history. It opens with a work by Gabriela Ortiz, a leading composer whose music fuses modern orchestral technique with the pulse of Mexican urban and folk traditions. Her sound world often draws on Latin American dance and popular idioms to create vivid timbres and expansive dramatic arcs. The program then turns to Clara Wieck Schumann’s Piano Concerto, written in her youth and premiered by the 14‑year‑old composer with Felix Mendelssohn conducting. French pianist David Kadouch performs the concerto, reflecting his personal commitment to championing Clara Schumann’s artistry.
