Having released their newest album, Hurmos, at the beginning of December, the instrumental trio will now hit the road on a Finnish tour!

Known as a trio, the band will temporarily grow into a six-piece art collective with visual artist Emma Luukkala, lighting designer JereSuontausta and sound engineer Mika Savolainen joining its ranks specifically for the tour.

Formed in 2011, Virta is a Helsinki-based instrumental trio whose unique sound is composed of elements drawn from the traditions of jazz, post-rock and electronic music. Their 2012 debut Tales from the Deep Waters (Tourist Information) sold out and garnered plenty of acclaim from both critics and fans of jazz. Their fresh sound and unusual instrumentation have attracted attention outside Finland as well; and, indeed, Virta were invited to perform at the prestigious Jazzahead! Festival, to be held at Bremen, Germany, in April 2017.

Live visuals: Emma Luukkala
