Sointi Jazz Orchestra: Agatha

Sointi Jazz Orchestra performs Kerkko Koskinen's work Agatha in its full original form.

Koskinen's first major instrumental work Agatha premiered nearly 20 years ago. This cinematic composition blending jazz and classical music draws inspiration from Agatha Christie's literary output, which has long fascinated the composer. The work weaves together singing, interlocking melodies and a carefully controlled harmonic arc. Koskinen's music is characterized by narrative quality and strong melodic expression, often drawing inspiration from poetry and sources beyond music itself.

Sointi Jazz Orchestra's ensemble is complemented by French horns and percussion. The orchestra is known for its premieres featuring both Finnish and international soloists.
