The Tunteet ("Emotions") concert is Maija Hapuoja’s tribute to the legendary lyricist Chrisse Johansson. Known as a singer, singing teacher and interpreter of emotions, Maija Hapuoja dives deeper into the profound texts of Chrisse Johansson in this concert.

“People often only listen to the melody and rhythm of songs, not paying much attention to the message and subtlety of the lyrics. Inspired by this, I began to study these texts very closely, and I will now perform a whole concert of Chrisse’s exquisite works of art. The concert will explore various styles through familiar songs. For example, ‘Kesän lapsi’ will be heard as a jazzy version, ‘Uneen aika vaipuu’ in bossa nova, and ‘Jos katsot silmiini mun’ (‘Woman in love’) as a ditty. There will also be a couple of Beatles songs in Finnish.”

Through Maija Hapuoja’s singing, the concert will literally go through the full spectrum of emotions. There will be great love, tears and laughter, joy and sorrow, abandonment, betrayal, tears. The chamber musical arrangements will bring Chrisse’s beloved lyrics close to the listeners, even under their skin.
