Jan Söderblom, conductor Jukka Perko, saxophoneThe Finnish hymn tradition represents a major chunk of our national cultural history. People have been learning hymns by ear and singing them together since the late 16th century. Even in today’s hymnal, the majority of the hymns hark back to a world of faith and hope centuries ago. Jukka Perko’s acclaimed Kaanaanmaa [Land of Canaan] programme approaches this venerable tradition from the perspective of the modern day and jazz improvisation. It reminds us of how hymn tunes have made the rounds and changed along the way. Hymns embodied the promise of a better world for people in hard times.Pre-concert talk at 18.00–18.30.Subscriptions: Platinum and SilverTapiola Sinfonietta Kevät 2024
