TOWARDS THE BLUE BUTTONS

Two Finnish pieces performed on the classical accordion will precede three world premières performed on a self-designed quarter-tone accordion, as such, representing Larrañaga’s growth as an artist, as well as her transition towards microtonality; towards the blue buttons.

In collaboration with French mezzo-soprano Océane Deweirder and English composer James Batty.

In memory of Donald Bousted.
