at 21 Hilja Grönfors Trio
at 23 Eva & Manu

The Finnish-French Eva & Manu duo travelled through Europe in their campervan and made a new music video about every new location each week. The couple wrote about their experiences in ”Travel in Music” blog, which became very popular. The stories were transformed into compositions, combining folk music, indie rock and pop, in which Eva’s crystal-clear and Manu’s unique and dark and rich voice get their deserved focus. The Finnish Romany music interpreter Hilja Grönfors gets her stories from childhood vagabond life and nights spent at river-side camps.

The new Art Director of Oulunsalo Soi, Virpi Räisänen and the event’s residence quartet, Jousia, introduce themselves and launch the August festival programme. The Sunset by the Italian Ottorino Respighi is a vocal fresco in which the Mezzo-Soprano can bathe in glowing string melodies. The Shelley poem tells a story of two lovers; a man who died young and a woman who lived in eternal longing. Alfred Schnittke’s string trio keeps perfect company to The Sunset.

Duration approx. 75 min (no intermission)

Eriikka Maalismaa violin
Lilli Maijala viola
Tuomas Lehto cello

Virpi Räisänen mezzosoprano

Lutoslawski’s playful dance preludes and more earnest Brahms choral preludes lead to this piece, which is heard as a trio version. The second half let’s us enjoy a string quintet à la Brahms, overflowing with romance.
