Jazz Finland Live

Open event

Anni Elif Egecioglu is a Swedish-Turkish singer, cellist and composer based in Finland since 2008. The versatile artist is at home in a number of genres, including pop, classical and jazz and is a strong presence in many internationally recognised Finnish groups. Now she celebrates her first solo album Edith, written to the texts of one of Finland's best-known female poets, Edith Södergran. The album is a combination of ambitious compositions, futuristic soundscapes and improvisation. Anni Elif's musical language and her nuanced voice match perfectly with the visionary of Södergran's verse and the futurism and symbolism of the time.

Aki Rissanen Trio on tour in France in November

Aki Rissanen Trio is one of the leading ensembles on the vibrant Finnish scene today. Studying classical piano early on has left a strong mark in the pianist's playing style. Add to that the open-minded young man's influences from electronic contemporary music, the end result is decidedly different from other piano trios. The shiny elegance of Teppo Mäkynen's and Antti Lötjönen's rhythm section, two Finland's most sought-after players, completes the sound of the experienced and hard-working trio.
