Kimmo Pohjonen is one of the cutting-edge accordion virtuosi and composers of our time. After having heard a record of Pohjonen’s during their concert tour in Finland, Kronos Quartet - who is well known for breaking new musical grounds - decided to get in touch with him.
The Kronos/Kluster project entitled “Uniko” is a mutually beneficial sonic/visual adventure with this goal: to create unique and never-before- heard-of sounds from accordion and strings. The programme features all new material composed by Kimmo Pohjonen and Samuli Kosminen of Kluster. It is something totally innovative, expanding and elevating the musical, sonic and visual aspects of both artists and forming and entirely new and exciting kind of concert event.
