International Rostrum of Composers

”The Pirate Bay” for baritone saxophone and electronics was premiered and radio broadcasted in October 2024. In May 2025, the recording made by YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) has been selected to represent Finland at this year’s Rostrum, together with pieces by Lara Poe and Tomi Räisänen.

The International Rostrum of Composers (IRC) is an annual forum organized by the International Music Council that offers broadcasting representatives the opportunity to exchange and publicize pieces of contemporary classical music. It is funded by contributions from participating national radio networks.
