11. Dominante 40th anniversary concert – JUBILEUM

Dominante’s 40th anniversary will be highlighted with JUBILEUM concert at the Helsinki Music Centre in November: the evening includes premiers and the most impressive works from the history of the choir.

Ordering new music and premieres have been a major part of the choir’s artistic vision. Over the years, the choir has ordered new music both from Finnish and Nordic composers. Commissioned works to be heard in the concert are composed by Matthew Whittall and Dominante’s Deputy Director Yui Katada. Whittall has composed a three-piece series love is a place based on love poems of E. E. Cummings. Katada’s UPOPO also consists of three pieces, which are based on stories of the traditions of the Japanese Ainu tribe.

In addition to premieres, the concert also includes plenty of different moods, which are strengthened by lighting and the movement of the choir and soloists. Veljo Tormis’ Raua needmine and Raymond Murray Schafer’s Narcissos and Echo contain strong dramaturgy, where dance acts as a one narrative element. Aulis Sallinen’s humoresque The Beaufort Scale also exceeds the limits of traditional choral singing. Artist Professor Jorma Uotinen is the director and choreographer of the concert.

Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s Tentatio composed for 40 voices is also very suitable for Dominante’s 40th anniversary concert. The overview to Dominante’s programme of previous decades brings up one of our main choral composer Toivo Kuula. His massive ”legacy to Finnish choirs”, Meren virsi, is heard in the concert performed by a great choir, which includes members of Dominante throughout the history of the choir.

2. AYY’s Töölö Service Point to close on 28 Oct

AYY Töölö Service Point will be closed on 28 Oct. The reason for this is the transfer of bachelor students to Otaniemi and the reduced need for services on Töölö Campus in general.

The aim is to have the university to continue services on Töölö Campus if possible. Of all the services, the distribution of year tags in the autumn will be carried out in Töölö, for example. The location will be confirmed later. In AYY’s view, it is important to continue to organise necessary services for students in Töölö in the future.

The farewell party of Töölö service point will be celebrated from 2pm onwards on 28 Oct. Welcome to spend a moment at the service point before the doors close!

In the future, the services of Töölö Service Point will continue as follows:

– Copy and printing cards can be purchased from Aalto University’s Töölö Library.
– KY products can be purchased at KY office. At KY office, you can also renew the membership tag of KY.
– Language material can be requested directly from teachers.
– Seasonal year tag distribution points will be available in Töölö.
– Student cards can be ordered to Otaniemi or Arabia service points.
– Ongoing search for a successor for book delivery service. For now, the service is not available.

3. AYY’s Representative Council elections are approaching!

In the Representative Council elections, AYY’s Representative Council of 45 members is elected for the next two-year term. The Representative Council has the highest decision-making power in AYY and decides on your membership fee and the student union regulations, among other things. The Representative Council is always elected for two years at a time.

You can find a suitable candidate from AYY’s candidate matcher at http://edustajistovaalit.fi/index_en.html.

All AYY’s members who have paid the student union’s membership fee by Friday, 16 Oct 2015 are entitled to vote. You can vote in advance through the electronic election system between 12noon on Mon, 26 Oct-12midnight on Mon, 2 Nov or on actual voting days at 12midnight on Tue, 3 Nov – 4pm on Wed, 4 Nov 2015.

4. AYY’s development cooperation week this week!

AYY’s development cooperation week has kicked off!

Why do we engage in development cooperation? How can technology make the world a better place? What kind of projects does the university have in the developing countries? How about a career in saving the world? The development cooperation week is part of the annual theme week funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which brings global development issues among students. AYY’s week on 26 Oct-30 Oct 2015 includes theme workshops, problem solving, an international fair, inspiring lectures, high-ranking international speakers – not forgetting languages, cultures and culinary delights of the world.

6. The Physicist Spex Presents: the Mindblowers!

A small band of illusionists, the Mindblowers, is in a sticky situation: The Swedish mafia, who control the entertainment industry with an iron fist, intend to collect their last pennies and earthly possessions. Will they succeed in the heist of century and escape from the dreary and dangerous North for good? Or will the Swedes ruin our youth with their pop music?

A English show of The Physicist Spex Mindblowers is coming in early December. Stay tuned, like The Physicist Spex on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fyysikkospeksi

Get ready for the most exciting and dramatic experience of the year! See you in the spex!

9. Dominante 40th anniversary concert – JUBILEUM

Dominante’s 40th anniversary will be highlighted with JUBILEUM concert at the Helsinki Music Centre in November: the evening includes premiers and the most impressive works from the history of the choir.

Ordering new music and premieres have been a major part of the choir’s artistic vision. Over the years, the choir has ordered new music both from Finnish and Nordic composers. Commissioned works to be heard in the concert are composed by Matthew Whittall and Dominante’s Deputy Director Yui Katada. Whittall has composed a three-piece series love is a place based on love poems of E. E. Cummings. Katada’s UPOPO also consists of three pieces, which are based on stories of the traditions of the Japanese Ainu tribe.

In addition to premieres, the concert also includes plenty of different moods, which are strengthened by lighting and the movement of the choir and soloists. Veljo Tormis’ Raua needmine and Raymond Murray Schafer’s Narcissos and Echo contain strong dramaturgy, where dance acts as a one narrative element. Aulis Sallinen’s humoresque The Beaufort Scale also exceeds the limits of traditional choral singing. Artist Professor Jorma Uotinen is the director and choreographer of the concert.

Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s Tentatio composed for 40 voices is also very suitable for Dominante’s 40th anniversary concert. The overview to Dominante’s programme of previous decades brings up one of our main choral composer Toivo Kuula. His massive ”legacy to Finnish choirs”, Meren virsi, is heard in the concert performed by a great choir, which includes members of Dominante throughout the history of the choir.

Dominante 40th anniversary concert – JUBILEUM
Sat, 14 Nov 2015, 5pm, Music Hall, Helsinki
Dominante, led by Seppo Murto
Elja Puukko, baritone

10. Aalto School of Students 2015 is almost here!

Have you ever wondered what all the other Aalto-people study? Do as a hobby? Do their research on? What they’re passionate about?

Now is the chance to widen your horizons and take part in Aalto School of Students where students share their ideas, knowledge and passions. We’re really excited about this and we’re inviting you to join in!

We’ve got some places for eager teachers still available, but most importantly – STUDENTS: save the date & join us! The lessons will take place in the Kandi-building in Otaniemi (U-wing, to be specific). All of the lessons won’t be in English, but as we have a couple simultanious lessons going on, we are able to fix the schedule so that there is at least one lesson in English going on all the time.

6. Survey of accessibility at higher education institutions

Dear higher education student,

In autumn 2015, the Research Foundation for Studies and Education Otus has begun a survey on the accessibility at the higher education institutions in Finland. The results are to be published by the end of the year.

This survey is aimed at students at universities and universities of applied sciences. It aims to gather students’ experiences of accessibility at their own universities. We hope to receive answers from a wide variety of students.

Your answer is important, because you can give valuable information on the accessibility at your higher education institution that can be used for decision-making affecting students and for scientific research. The survey produces follow-up data which is combined with earlier data. This is of help for long term development of educational opportunities for different researched needs.

The survey is concise. It takes you 15 minutes or even less to fill in. The survey is open until 1 November 2015 here: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/41785B7DF6B9C389.par. For those who participate in the study there will be a raffle for three 50 euro gift vouchers for stores in the S group.

The data gathered is handled with strict confidentiality. The information we collect will be used only for research purposes. Your information will not be shared with anyone else.

The results will be published at the end of the year in a survey of higher education institutions’ accessibility which aims to develop accessibility at higher education institutions.

We greatly appreciate your replies, thank you for your time!
