ON THE BORDER -- CLOSING CONCERT Sun 9.8.2026 at 13.00-15.00 Hotel Sodankylä Unarintie 15, 99600 Sodankylä What does it mean to stand at the border? Behind you lies everything you know, have experienced, and learned. Ahead of you lies the unknown. How do we cross these borders in our own lives? When composing the work on this program, Amy Beach was preparing to retire from composing. Felix Mendelssohn, on the other hand, was recovering from the death of his beloved sister and trying to imagine life without her. Sally Beamish pondered the borders between land and sea and life and death and considers what they all have in common.
