Helsinki (Finland) - 11th to 18th November 2007

Introduction from Assistant AFNOM Director Jan Lehtola

“It gives me great pleasure to announce that the first overseas Annual Festival for New Organ Music, “Organo Novo”, will be held in St. Paul's Church in Helsinki between the 11th and 18th November 2007. The programme includes lectures, master-classes and concerts, during which there will be four world premiers. The aim of the festival is to enable performances of new, large-scale organ pieces which would be difficult to programme in normal concerts. In co-operation with AFNOM in London, the various items in each “Organo Novo” programme are by composers from different countries, although the Festival in Helsinki will serve mainly the needs of Finnish culture, hoping to encourage Finnish composers to write new music for the organ and to raise an interest in contemporary music in the minds of the younger generation of organists. Students from the Sibelius Academy will therefore be performing alongside other distinguished performers”.
