About this event
Esther Calderón: Chamber Ecotone is scheduled for Monday, 2 November 2026 at Musiikkitalo - Helsinki Music Centre. You can go for free.
Esther Calderón's first doctoral concert. Musicians, plants, electronics, and space form a shared ecosystem where interaction shapes the music.
Chamber Ecotone is the first artistic component of Esther Calderón’s doctoral research project, “Composition as an Ecosystemic Practice: Exploring Interdependent Systems in Contemporary Electroacoustic Music Concerts.”
An ecotone is a place where different ecosystems meet and exist in tension. In Chamber Ecotone, this notion is translated into a domestic setting: a room shared by humans and houseplants.

What kinds of relationships develop through sharing space with the more-than-human? What forms of attention, care, dependency, or agency emerge there?
Inspired by the spaces, interactions, and emotions that arise when living with plants, Chamber Ecotone reimagines this private experience as a musical environment.
The concert brings together flute, saxophone, viola, cello, live electronics, plants, and sound spatialization. Musicians, plants, technologies, audience members, and the environment coexist within interconnected ecosystems, influencing one another in different ways.
