Award-winning artist to perform at the Night of the Arts pre-concert
Renowned alternative folk artist Piia Viitanen will perform a solo concert in the courtyard of Aleksis Kiviu0026#x27;s death cottage on Friday, 8 August at 5 p.m. This now traditional pre-concert event kicks off the magnificent Tuusula Arts Night.
Viitanen Piia’s musical style is a delicate, dreamlike and at the same time profound combination of folk and indie music. Her lyrics are tinged with melancholy, memories of the past and longing. Her songs often deal with the finiteness of life, time and distance, but also with hope and comfort.
Viitanen Piia’s studio album Ihmisen aika (Human Time), released in 2024, ranked second on Soundi magazine’s list of the best albums of the year and was nominated for the Critics’ Choice Emma Award. She won the most awards at last year’s Indie Awards, taking home the Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (Ihmisen aika) and Song of the Year (Outo tyttö) awards.
The fourth pre-concert is a unique and unforgettable intimate concert experience, where the audience and artist interact closely with each other. In previous years, Samae Koskinen, Liisa Akimof and artist M have performed at the pre-concert, accompanied by the Lumos string quartet.
