The Art of the Groove: Santtu-Matias Rouvali & Pekka Kuusisto in Conversation

What does it take for an orchestra, soloist and conductor to find that musical sweet spot, where tradition, risk-taking and creativity intersect? Philharmonia Orchestra Principal Guest Conductor and violinist Pekka Kuusisto met up in Tampere, Finland, to chat about their dynamic, dance-filled concert on 30 May, with a programme of Stravinsky and John Adams. Pekka also performs a free show with juggler Jay Gilligan following the main concert.
