Lotta Wennäkoski
Lotta Wennäkoski has gained international recognition with her personal idiom, distinguishing herself as a master of lyrical tones, loving airiness and space, acoustical instruments and silence.
Wennäkoski says she has always been interested in language and literature, including lyrical poetry, which one might feel in the vigorous titles of her compositions. Some works have a playful dimension, like Jong for juggler and orchestra, but she is not afraid to tackle wild and brutal subjects either.
