Juha T. Koskinen (b.1972) is an internationally renowned composer whose extensive output ranges from chamber operas and orchestral works to electronic soundscapes. As a composer, Koskinen is interested in encounters between different cultures and eras. He has strong links with Japan, where he is a regular guest both as a composer and as a visiting professor of composition, and where his work Sogni di Dante won the composition prize at the Takefu International Music Festival in 2004.
Koskinen started to plan works for stage already before his studies at Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. The early chamber operas Velhosiskot (1996) and EUKKO pidättekö vainajista (1999) were commissioned and performed by Ooppera Skaala group, based in Helsinki. The monologue opera Lusia Rusintytär, composed for mezzo soprano Virpi Räisänen and performed at Helsinki Festival 2015, was preceded by the chamber opera Madame de Sade (2010), based on the play by Yukio Mishima, the first version of which was premiered at the European Academy of Music in Aix-en- Provence in 1998. Ophelia/Tiefsee for actor, viola and chamber orchestra, a collaboration with stage director-dramaturg Aleksi Barrière, was commissioned by Radio France and premiered at the Présences Festival in Paris in 2017. The work received its Finnish premiere at the Musica nova Helsinki Festival in February 2019. Another collaboration with Mr. Barrière is Earthrise for actor, singer/vocal improviser and baroque orchestra premiered at the Alminsali of the Finnish National Opera on 17 October 2024 as part of the Helsinki Early Music Festival.
Collaboration with musicians representing the traditional arts of Japan has been one of the most important features of Koskinen's activities as a composer since 2012. Several composition projects will be continued with the Noh singer Ryoko Aoki, the koto player Nobutaka Yoshizawa and the Tendai Shōmyō singer Shoei Suehiro.
