Note: No longer in repertoire!

In a wonderful concert, Oskar Merikanto’s songs with new amazing arrangements.

On the initiative of actress-singer Sanna Majuri, a band was formed that began to work on new arrangements of Oskar Merikanto’s solo songs, stripping them of the traditional classical sound and replacing them with a delicious contemporary jazz sound. The songs formed a concert called Merikanto-ilta – kaihonsairas iltansuu. The songs to be performed have been chosen mainly because of their lyrics, and the entire amazing band has been involved in the arrangement work. The concert will feature songs such as Boldoget, Illansuussa and Nocturne, as well as many other wonderful songs.
