Marvellous to hear

Description

Six composition students at the Sibelius Academy of Uniarts Helsinki were given the opportunity to delve into the world of limitless potential in the Musiikkitalo organ: 7,999 pipes, 124 stops, a special division with notes between the black and white keys, adjustable wind pressure, a profusion of unique effects enabled by modern electronics and a large, 1,700-seat concert hall with superb acoustics. The fruits of the composition course organised by the Sibelius Academy are presented at a concert at the Musica nova Helsinki contemporary music festival, with six organists performing the newly written works.
