The collaboration of the world-renowned Australian recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey and Finnish Ensemble Nylandia, led by harpsichordist Matias Häkkinen, explores the wild branches of baroque music, ranging from virtuosic concertos to delicate character pieces.
 
The relationship between humanity and nature is often depicted as an attempt to control nature’s chaos by shaping geometrically beautiful gardens and cities, while at the same time, idealising rugged and boundless natural phenomena filled with details and vibrant life.  In music, attempts were made to harness nature by imposing strict control and order through various tuning systems. However, dissonances and discord inevitably reveal themselves, and this program celebrates this wild, fierce, and also tender beauty in all its natural splendor. 
 
The concert program is connected to Genevieve Lacey’s Pleasure Garden sound installation, which can be enjoyed between 22 July and 7 August as part of the BarokkiKuopio Early Music Festival.  Complementing the Festival’s themes of nature and character, Pleasure Garden is a listening garden, an immersive experience in nature where music and birdsong float amidst the soundscape of a summer forest and natural surroundings.

More about Pleasure garden
Musician and arts advocate Genevieve Lacey connects people and ideas through sound, creating and performing multi-artform pieces that combine her skills as performer, composer, and curator. Her poetic, sensual works are experienced in concert halls, public art settings, as installations, in film, theatre, dance, radio, TV, and the digital realm.  

Works include sound installation Breathing Space, envisaged as a rewilding in sound for the National Museum of Australia, the massed choral ritual Consort of the Moon, the immersive listening experience Pleasure Garden, the documentary film Recorder Queen, and Soliloquy, a re-invention of the solo recital. Current collaborators include writer Alexis Wright, visual artist Amos Gebhardt, composer-improviser Erkki Veltheim and Antarctic scientist Steven Chown.

With an extensive and ever-expanding discography, she has won Helpmann, Green Room and ARIA awards (most recently, Best Classical Album for her 2021 CD Bower), Churchill, Freedman and Australia Council Fellowships, the Melbourne Prize for Music (Outstanding Musician Award), and the Sidney Myer Individual Performing Arts Award.
The Finnish early music collective Ensemble Nylandia was founded in Helsinki in 2009 by its artistic director Matias Häkkinen and a leading group of baroque musicians in Finland. It is renewing and shaking up the field of early music with its innovative risk-taking attitude. It gives opportunities for its members to share their talents and collaborates with artists who have big hearts and a lot to say and show. Ensemble Nylandia’s main focuses and favourite genres have been different concertos including works commissioned by it and dramatic projects including lesser known opera and oratorio repertoire.
