The composer Sebastian Hill has been commissioned to create the multidisciplinary work Cupido in celebration of the 100th anniversary of artist Reidar Särestöniemi’s birth on May 14, 2025. Inspired by Särestöniemi’s life and art, the piece has been developed as a collaborative project between the arts organisation Hiljaisuus and the Lapland Chamber Orchestra.
The premiere will take place at the Korundi House of Culture in Rovaniemi on May 15, 2025, as part of the Chamber Symphony Concert V – Reidar Särestöniemi 100 Years!
This collaboration has been supported by the New Classics Fund and is part of the official program for the Reidar Särestöniemi centenary celebrations.
