The concert series Soi torpat ja salongit II (Playing Barns and Salons II) interprets traditional music from different periods in Southwest Finland and the Turku archipelago in modern arrangements. Two violins, Finnish and Swedish vocals, and bilingual narration draw the performers and audience into the timeless continuum of folk music. In this work, the musical soundscape of the archipelago, villages, and towns is both a thing of the past and something that is being created in the present moment.

The concert series is a continuation of the duo's previous work, Soi torpat ja salongit (2019-2024), in which the duo familiarized themselves with thousands of sheet music and recordings of traditional music from the province, including those from the archives of the Sibelius Museum, the Finnish Literature Society, the National Library, Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland, and Svenskt visarkiv (Sweden). The new production continues the extensive and cross-linguistic mapping work. Marianne Maans has been a professional folk musician since the late 1990s, working on a wide range of music projects.
