Since 2017 the fusion group Silva Kallionpää Quartet, consisting of four unique and expressive musicians, has fearlessly pushed their boundaries. Their exceptional ensemble sound and rule-breaking expression captivate and challenge listeners universally, regardless of their background. Drawing from modern jazz and occasionally venturing into uncharted territories, their compositions frame a conversational ensemble interaction. Their music tells stories, with new nuances emerging with each performance.

Versatile violinist Silva Kallionpää, who has been adding vibrancy to Helsinki's music scene, has always delved into rhythm and improvisation from the beginning of her musical career, particularly within the framework of her beloved jazz. Kallionpää's musical language is influenced not only by jazz but also by art pop and electronic music.

Silva Kallionpää Quartet's debut album Unadaptable was released through Eclipse Music on April 15, 2022. The album received a positive reception, and the group has piqued the interest of both the domestic and international jazz communities.

The concert will begin with a solo guitar performance by Johannes Granroth. This young multitalented musician is known for being the guitarist and composer of the Peela band and the bassist of the Maja Mannila Trio. His music smoothly combines jazz, funk, soul, and rock influences. Expect something extraordinary, as this time he will perform solo.
