he Finnish word kaamos captures the profound impact of the Arctic winter night—a time when the sun never rises, bringing a unique blend of colors, silence, and sensory awakening.

This concert explores the essence of kaamos through the works of young composers Maija Hynninen and Tomi Räisänen, inspired by the reflections of renowned Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho on nature and light. Saariaho, when asked by Glow Collective to name composers she feels strongly about, recommended these two talents. Through their compositions, kaamos comes to life as a concept beyond words. This event is supported by Flanders State of the Art.
