The most played concerto by a Finnish composer is…
main…. obviously, Sibelius’s violin concerto.
But what’s the second most performed?
We think you’ll never guess.
Clue #1 It’s by a living composer
# 2 It’s for percussion and orchestra
# 3 It’s being performed 15 times in 2017-18. By three different soloists: Colin Currie, Martin Grubinger and Alexei Gerassimez.
Any warmer?
The composer is the chap on the left.

Kalevi Aho’s percussion concerto will have its 50th performance this year. That makes it #2 behind Sibelius.
