Validi Karkia releases the versatile and international 17-night concert programme of this autumn. The season opens on 1 August with internationally distinguished conductor Jukka Iisakkila, this time in electric guitar. The Breed explores the composition material of Pekka Pohjola. In addition to Iisakkila, the ensemble consists of Aki Lääkkölä, Jaan Wessman, Niko Ronimus and Ville Ojanen.
Progressive rock material is presented on 10th August as the Wigwam legend Jukka Gustavson, bass virtuoso Jan-Olof Strandberg and drummer ace Jartsa Karvonen arrive to Pori.
Female artists are well presented in Validi’s autumn programme. Singer-songwriter artists include Laura Sippola, Viitasen Piia and Lau Nau. Accordion artist Teija Niku brings her new quartet to Pori and Kaisa Mäensivu, recently acknowledged for New Talent of the year at the Pori Jazz festival, is seen in Pori as a part of vocal quartet Signe. Okra Playground, starred with Maija Kauhanen, performs original Nordic modern folk music with swinging and archaic rhythms.
Top-notch artists of modern Finnish jazz are seen in Pori along ensembles such as Pepa Päivinen and the Good Romans, Juhani “Junnu” Aaltonen’s Nordic Trinity and Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson’ Dark Forest and energetic Mopo. International jazz guests arrive this time from France, Germany and Austria.
