PAINTING

“The Art of Collaboration” is a concert of flute and canvas. 

It’s an investigative partnership by flautist Iryna Gorkun-Silén and visual artist Aino Koski, exploring connections between music and visual art. A one hour concert presents the flute in various instrumental combinations, while Aino Koski’s tandem performance improvises a 7-meter-long painting with brush strokes inspired by the music composed by Varèse, Jolivet, Debussy, Ravel.

Premiered in 2019 in Musiikkitalo, the Helsinki Music Centre.
