Freeta | Trio Maans-Perkola-Sandås - Etno-Espa

Etno-Espa presents two contemporary folk music concerts: first Freeta's debut album performed live, then Trio Maans-Perkola-Sandås with their Finland-Swedish programme.

16.00 | Freeta: Mielenmaisemissa

Freeta is a trio of violin, cello and piano performing the members' own compositions. The music travels from Stockholm to Viik and from November memories to the swirl of quadrilles and polkas. The group released their debut album Mielenmaisemissa in May 2026.

Verna Kylmänen - piano
Viive Virtanen - 5-string violin
Carolina Stenbäck - 5-string cello

17.15 | Trio Maans-Perkola-Sandås: Veden syvyyksistä taivaan ääriin

Marianne Maans is a specialist in Finland-Swedish folk music whose work ranges from folk traditions to Argentine tango. Mikko Perkola is a musician and composer whose practice often weaves composition, improvisation and electronics together with other art forms. Henrik Sandås has performed as a soloist and arranger with numerous symphony orchestras - in 2025 he made his debut as a soloist with BBC Symphony Orchestra in London - and his repertoire spans from Baroque music to tango nuevo, contemporary music, jazz and improvisation.
