The songs of Fredi, the sympathetic tenor, have been around for decades. “Fredi was preparing the concert with us until the work was interrupted in the saddest possible way, with his passing. However, Fredi had time to give his blessing to the project and choose his own favourites for the concert.” The new arrangements made for this orchestra add new tones to the familiar songs.

Fredi performed, composed songs and wrote lyrics in seven different decades. Many generations have grown up with his songs. The sounds and words bring up memories, places, people… When and where did you first hear songs like ‘Kun puhut rakkaudesta hiljaa’, ‘Kolmatta linjaa takaisin’ or ‘Katso luontoa ja huomaa’…?

The patron of the concert is Eva-Riitta Siitonen.
