Yrttitarha is a concert installation for a performer and herbs. The performer communicates with the herb garden spreading to the stage. The piece wonders about the balance – how we treat others and ourselves: take care, cherish, utilize and enjoy.
The piece was commissioned and premiered by percussionist Kalle Hakosalo.
