“I began working on my silent film trilogy in the early 2010s. I wanted to make a cinematic performance in which all the sounds would be created as a live performance, while a film projector in the middle of the hall would project the play of light and shadow onto the screen,” says film director Juho Kuosmanen. In our Epiphany cinema concert, Kuosmanen’s award-winning trilogy can be seen and heard, accompanied by the HPO. The music composed by the Ykspihlaja Kino Orchestra has been arranged for the symphony orchestra by Mateusz Gwizdałła, who also conducts the concert.
