The compositions heard in Joakim Berghäll and Adele Sauros’ duo concert originate from a solo improvisation played by Berghäll in a single sitting, inspired by anti-war poems written in various conflict areas around the world. The melodic ideas of the compositions were written down as they were, without changing a single sound, remaining faithful to the impulses of the improvisation. Berghäll and Sauros recorded the result in the Kamppi Chapel, giving rise to the Runoja Rauhalle album, which, particularly in the present moment, serves as a beautiful and necessary reminder of humanity and community.

T.I.M. is a trio assembled by French pianist Sébastien Palis, featuring Norwegian musicians Karoline Wallace and Inger Hannisdal. The group’s fascinating minimalism, combining piano, human voice and electroacoustic elements, moves on the boundary between folk music and improvisation, alternating between light and shadow and blending acoustic expression with DIY electronics. The stories in the songs reflect diverse narrative styles, including the perspective of a child, multigenerational deep memories and old folk rhymes. The acclaimed Hungarian record label BMC will release T.I.M.’s debut album, Tall, Infinite, Microscopic, in September 2026. T.I.M. performs as a duo consisting of Sébastien Palis and Inger Hannisdal in Salo on 5 September and at a house concert in Rajamäki on 6 September, and as a trio at the other concerts on the tour.

_{In 2026, it will be 100 years since jazz symbolically arrived in Finland with the ship Andania. The year thus marks a historic centenary celebration for Finnish jazz: Jazz in Finland 100. The anniversary highlights Finnish jazz and its artists both in Finland and abroad, celebrating jazz as part of Finland’s cultural heritage. The Jazz in Finland 100 campaign is coordinated by the Finnish Jazz Federation.}
