Back in March, I posted a link to an electric guitar concerto by Lauri Porra, the great-grandson of Jean Sibelius. Porra has since composed “Kohta,” a work for rapper, orchestra and omniwerk, which was given its premiere by the Finnish Radio Orchestra earlier this month.

Porra is a bassist in the Finnish metal band Stratovarius.
