Espoo folk music and evergreen atmospheres in the embrace of the archipelago at the Pentala Archipelago Museum on Espoo Day. The concert is a reprise of last summer's concert! The concert will be held in the atmospheric Fisherman's Cottage.

Espoo-based accordion artist Maria Kalaniemi is an internationally renowned musician and also a talented, distinctive composer. She is an artist who has developed her own very personal expression from many musical styles. Kalaniemi's lyrically sensitive and intense playing style has gained a loyal audience in different parts of the world. The archipelago is close to her heart. In 2024, she celebrated her 60th birthday.

Kirkkonummi-based harmonica player and Doctor of Music Jouko Kyhälä is one of the leading Finnish professional folk musicians. He has been leading the world-famous Sväng harmonica quartet for 20 years, but has also had a significant career as a soloist, in theatre, film music and as a composer for contemporary dance. Kyhälä has played in over 20 bands and has appeared on dozens of recordings in all genres. However, Kyhälä's musical roots lie in folk music. A connection to nature and a love of life are his mottos.
