On Monday 25.3. at 3 p.m. in the Agora café, approx. 15-20 min.
Timi Volotinen. I thought I would sing about the creation of the world. It fits the theme of music research particularly well: In the Border Karelian-based version I know, the kantele is created first and only then the world. The hymn I sing is based on Iivana Onoila’s versions, but it has been modified in my own mouth into a slightly unique whole. I either made up the tune in my head or grabbed it from somewhere, I can’t say for sure now.
On Monday in Agora’s cafeteria: Symposium opening celebrations
Opens to the wider public from 20:00. Music program – free admission
Juurisävel is a folk music duo from Joensuu, made up of folk musicians Kirsi Uutinen and Jari Lappalainen. They perform new arrangements of folk songs recorded from Kiihtelysvaara between 1899 and 1950. The song list, once compiled by Kyllikki Malisto, is freshly updated for the 2020s in the handling of two tradition-conscious and versatile professionals. The songs are in the style of a more recent folk song tradition, and they tell about the life of young people from North Karelia, with its joys and sorrows.
Anna Fält is a folk musician, composer, singing teacher and sound artist whose main work is concerts of unaccompanied solo singing. The musician, who explores the dimensions of the human voice, mostly performs her own compositions based on traditional incantation and poetry lyrics. MORE INFORMATION: www.annafalt.com
Pekko Käppi performs songs, e.g. from the repertoire of Taavi Uutela from Iitti and along his career. Pekko Käppi (b. 1976) is a jouhikko artist from Tampere who works as a musician, composer and producer and is preparing a doctoral thesis for the University of Eastern Finland with the title “The music of folk singer Taavi Uutela, song tradition and archival material as a micro-historical performance”.
Tuesday 26.3. in two parts around 12:00-12:15 and 12:35-12:55.
Soprano Roosa Tarvonen and pianist Tiina Linjama perform classical lied music that transports its listeners to a wide range of moods. In the works of Schubert, Mozart, Grieg, Madetoja and other song composers, among other things, we marvel at the beauty of music, head resolutely towards the roaring sea or the top of a fell, and of course also talk about love.
Tuesday 26.3. between 15:00 and 15:30 In Agora’s cafe
Duo Vanhat Jäärät plays acoustically their own arrangements of The Beatles classics Susanna Lumijoki (vocals) and Atte Asikainen (guitar). The duration of the performance is approx. 20 minutes.
