The ULYSSES Network supports young composers with co-commissions.
In this framework,  two partners within the Ulysses Network: Gaudeamus and Time of Music decided to co-commission Tuomas Kettunen to write a new piece, Wheel of Fortune.

Based in London, Riot Ensemble is active in bringing emerging international voices to the British new-music scene, and since 2012 has given over 200 World and UK premieres by composers from more than thirty countries.  In July, they visit Time of Music for the first time, the occasion to premiere Wheel of Fortune.
