»Soundbreaker« / Documentary on Kimmo Pohjonen

»Soundbreaker« is an eighty-six minute music documentary film about Finnish accordion player Kimmo Pohjonen. A deeper understanding of the inner struggle of this exceptional artist is conveyed through breathtaking images, sparse words, interviews, photos, music, video and archive material from Pohjonen’s thirty-five year career in music. Kimmo Pohjonen can be heard in his programme »Ultra Organ« on 24 February in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall.

The Elbphilharmonie’s supporting programme offers a variety of different angles on the music performed – either to complement the concert itself, or as an experience in its own right. As a rule, the Elbphilharmonie+ events are interdisciplinary in nature: exhibitions, talks to accompany a particular concert or events featuring flamenco dancing or scat singing. They take place in the Elbphilharmonie itself in some cases, as well as in museums, libraries and local culture centres.
