OMJ Jazz & Etno series will feature eight wonderful concerts in the spring season of 2023.
The newest additions to the concert series are the jazz duo Kadri Voorand & Mihkel Mälgand, who will be heard on April 26, and the pianist Kateryna Ziabliuk, who will take the stage on May 3.
The first concert will be held already in January, when the Olli Hirvonen Trio will hop on the stage of RioLive. The Jazz & Etno Spring 2023 series also features Jukka Linkola, awarded with both Yrjö- and Jussi awards, with his band Tentet, Barlast, a band that glorifies the silence and builds their music from the aspects of it, and Rällä, a folk music band from Oulu. During the spring, the audience will also hear the beautiful melodies and compositions of the four-person jazz group Joonas Tuuri Quartet, as well as the joint concert of four wonderful world-class jazz artists; Rosenwinkel Blake Mäensivu Peri.
The artistic director of the series is saxophonist Jukka Perko. All concerts of the Jazz & Etno series are organized, as usual, at RioLive in the city center of Oulu.
