Musicians Amanda Kauranne and Linda Hedlund charm audiences at this springu0026#x27;s Minä elän! clubs
Spring cultural experiences in Tuusula are provided by the Minä elän! (I Live!) clubs, where music and literary arts intertwine in historical settings. The artistu0026#x27;s home in Erkkola will feature Amanda Kauranteu0026#x27;s folk music, while Halosenniemi will host chamber music by female composers, transporting listeners to the atmosphere of Paris.
At the Artist’s Home in Erkkola on Thursday, 10 April 2025, at 7 p.m., folk singer and percussionist Amanda Kauranne will perform a solo concert featuring different styles of folk songs, combining folk tales with the beauty of traditional songs. She draws on the treasures of the archives and explores the diversity of the human voice.
At the heart of Kaurantee’s music are vocals, percussion instruments and finger pianos, but he also utilises everyday objects such as plastic bags and flower pots in his search for unique sounds. His music is born from the encounter of different cultures, traditions and languages.
At the Minä elän! club, you can hear traditional songs as well as new folk music composed by Kaurantee and songs inspired by the Tuusula artist community. The concert will also feature the premiere of a piece inspired by Erkkola’s exhibition Toden tuolla puolen (Beyond Reality).
Parisian atmosphere and music by female composers in Halosenniemi in May
The concert of chamber music by female composers from the turn of the century, led by violinist Linda Hedlund, will be held in Halosenniemi on Thursday, 8 May 2025, at 7 p.m. In addition to Hedlund, pianist Annika Palm and cellist Beata Antikainen will also perform at the concert.
The concert highlights female composers who have been overlooked throughout history. The programme includes piano trios by Clara Schumann and Rebecca Clark, as well as violin and piano works by Amy Beach and Cecile Chaminade. Parisian music appropriate to the Halosenniemi exhibition will also be performed.
