Dominante, Celebration choir, Laulupuu
In 1803, hundreds of medieval texts were found in the basement of a Bavarian monastery. The verses written in Latin tell uncensored stories about a person’s worldly life, which included eroticism, unrestrained drunkenness, and gambling. From these texts, Carl Orff composed his gigantic masterpiece, Carmina Burana, a theatrical cantata containing exuberant drama, which music shocks, entertains and amazes like an irresistible natural phenomenon.
Duration approximately 1h 30mins. No intermission.

Siell’ on kauan jo kukkineet omenapuut… Mun uneni iltapilviä on… ”
The top choirs operating within Aalto University, Dominante and the Polytech Choir, are joining forces to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the crown jewel of Finnish choral music, Toivo Kuula. The concert includes all the most important works of the composer’s extensive choral production. It is rare to get to hear Kuula’s most beloved mixed and male choral works performed at a high level in the same concert; this joint concert gives you that opportunity. At the end of the concert, the choirs’ joint number is the majestic Hymn of the Sea. The concert will be led by the choirs’ artistic directors Saara Aittakumpu and Seppo Murto. Tickets are available now from lippu.fi.
About Dominante

Salvat 1701 returns in fall 2022
It’s time to reveal what the choir has in store this fall! Dominante will once again perform the church drama Salvat 1701, which was last performed by the choir in 2018.
Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s Salvat 1701 is a unique historical church drama that depicts the plight of people suffering from a plague. Salvat 1701 is more than just a choir concert: it is a dramatised musical journey into a dark time in history, where salvation amidst the chaos was found in the community and church.
Dominante performs Salvat 1701 in Temppeliaukio church on 13th October and in Espoo Cathedral on 4th November. The performance is conducted by Seppo Murto and directed by Ville Sandqvist. Tickets will come on sale in August.
