In autumn 2022, Aulikki Oksanen and Vuokko Hovatta went on a tour to celebrate their 15-year friendship as artists. Both are talented and diverse artists whose concerts highlight the unique expressive power of the Finnish language and its connection to music.

The performance includes Oksanen’s poems, sung by Hovatta and recited by the poet herself. The main themes of the poems and songs are love, forests, myths, time, and the state of our world.

The performance is also joined by two musicians, guitar virtuoso Jarmo Saari and vibraphonist Panu Savolainen. Their profound professional skills, appreciation of poetry, and joy of life are a seamless part of the show.

Aulikki Oksanen: poems
Vuokko Hovatta: vocals
